Shapps has an unconventional background for a Tory. He initially denied the claims, telling LBC radio: “To be absolutely clear: I don’t have a second job and I have never had a second job whilst being an MP. He later came clean, saying he had “over-firmly denied” having a second job and reportedly admitted to the BBC he had “screwed up” on dates. Shapps denied having anything to do with Contribsx. Shapps denied being informed about any allegations of bullying, sexual abuse or blackmail but quit his post saying that “responsibility should rest somewhere”.
