Video clip summary:
This is the moment Grant Shapps hung up the phone during a live interview when he was asked about losing his seat in the upcoming general election.
A YouGov survey suggested the defence secretary could be voted out of parliament along with many of his Conservative colleagues.
While presenting the polls’ results on Sky News on Monday (3 June) deputy political editor Sam Coates spotted Shapps was calling him.
The camera kept rolling as Coates answered and said: “Hello Grant Shapps, you’re live on Sky News.
“I’m in the studio with Sophy Ridge. Have you seen you’re about to lose your seat, according to the Sky News-YouGov projection?”
There was a moment’s silence before the phone emitted a few beeps, meaning Shapps was no longer there.
It’s phenomenal how thin skinned these apparent
anti- woke wa*kers are
No worries, Tories will find another seat to swap him into.
I’d notr be surprised if he was shifted to a safer seat.
Meh. People who phone in to LBC and similar stations are often dropped, mobile phones just aren’t that reliable.
No idea why he’d be calling the guy though, don’t they arrange politician interviews beforehand?
One thing I always find slightly disconcerting is just how politicians have the phone numbers of journalists and casually call them up.
Pull over and have a coffee. You’re the fucking Transport Minister!
Watching sky news with my tea yesterday was the most fun I’ve had in ages
Actual election night is going to be a belter
