If all the people who want #Labour to win, voted, then they *would* get a super-majority, as the #Conservatives know.
And in some ways, them telling the truth (initiated by #GrantShapps), is a clever way of deboosting lazy Labour voters - and - boosting their own vote, simply based on fear.
An interesting strategy that's had an unexpected result - a lot of young voters take the #Labour win for granted, and they've decided to use their vote as a protest by intending to vote #GREEN 😄
Hilarious (and unprecedented) if this actually happens

🇬🇧 A Tory social media campaign suggests the party fears a #Labour landslide in the upcoming general election, as minister #GrantShapps says they are fighting to avoid a #Labour "supermajority"
The Conservatives' latest advertising campaign appears to target potential #Reform voters, warning them that the Tories could be reduced to just 57 seats in the next parliament, even if #Reform picked up no seats ⏩

Would #GrantShapps support replacing #FPTP with an alternative voting system…?

Does the world give a single fuck what Grant Shapps says?
Like Rishi Sunak he lacks the gravitas for the World Stage. He's the typical Brit abroad these days, deluded, self important, incompetent and entitled.
"Grant Shapps has ordered an urgent review into the matter"
You don't know where your planes are lad? Is that it? Have tried down the back of the sofa?
The 🇬🇧 #Defense Secretary, #GrantShapps, has ordered an urgent review after it emerged there is a shortage of planes for a mass parachute drop to mark the 80th anniversary of #DDay
Hundreds of #paratroopers were expected to jump into #Normandy on the eve of #DDay to honour the actions of their predecessors in #WorldWarTwo, but plans have been scaled back due to a shortage of aircraft
The #MailOnSunday reported just one plane was left for the event

Boys playing with toys, this is probably the peak of Grant Shapps' career
ℹ #GrantShapps aborted a trip to southern #Ukraine last week for "#security reasons", the UK defence ministry said
The #defence secretary had to scrap his visit to Odesa last week after #UK intelligence reportedly warned #russia had become aware of his travel plans
Mr Shapps was due to travel to #Odesa a day after a missile hit the city while the Ukrainian president and the Greek prime minister were visiting
Reportedly, five people were killed in the strike
Looks like the Tories—or at least #GrantShapps, or whatever his name is this week—are now on a “pre-war” footing. 🤨 #ToryBritain https://news.sky.com/story/grant-shapps-calls-for-uk-defence-spending-to-rise-to-3-of-gdp-13094267
