She wasn't that excited to take on that role but she did make the department more about development, not just handing out aid.

Which no doubt he will consider a demotion.
The thought of him having any involvement in international development makes me shudder!

(14,736 posts)3. Grant Shapps to join Wu-Tang Clan
http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/politics/politics-headlines/grant-shapps-to-join-wu-tang-clan-2015051298215
GRANT Shapps has announced plans to join a rap group that actively encourages the use of multiple pseudonyms.
After being sacked from cabinet in David Camerons reshuffle, the ex-Tory chairman was contacted by Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA, who officially invited him to enroll in the Staten Island rap clique.
Shapps said: I am a man who enjoys inhabiting and exploring different personas and alter-egos. The Conversative party simply couldnt deal with that side of me, but the Wu-Tang Clan is hugely supportive of it.
He could perhaps dub himself Digital Marketah, Clikkbait Providah or even Wikipedia Tinkerah. Or maybe just Ol Tory Bastard.

when you get a department that is important to global affairs.
Am very sad for Desmond Swayne. He was getting better at his job.
