Grant Shapps – 2022 Comments on Loyalty to Boris Johnson

The comments made by Grant Shapps, the Secretary of State for Transport, on 9 July 2022.

I have not spent the last few turbulent years plotting or briefing against the prime minister. I have not been mobilising a leadership campaign behind his back. I tell you this: for all his flaws – and who is not flawed? – I like Boris Johnson. I have never, for a moment, doubted his love of this country.
