Grant Shapps career
Shapps first won a seat in the House of Commons in the general election of 2005. In 2007, he was elevated to the position of Shadow Minister for Housing and Planning in the Shadow Cabinet.
Shapps was appointed Minister of State for Housing and Local Government in 2010 after David Cameron became Prime Minister.
He was elevated to the position of Minister without Portfolio and Co-Chairman of the Conservative Party in the 2012 cabinet reshuffle.
He was removed from the Cabinet in May 2015 and became Minister of State for International Development. He resigned from this position in November 2015 as a result of how he handled claims of bullying inside the Conservative Party.
He backed Boris Johnson’s campaign for the Conservative Party leadership in 2019, and after Johnson was elected Prime Minister, he named Shapps as Transport Secretary in July.
With the effective nationalization of the Northern Trains franchise, the Williams-Shapps Review to transition from a rail franchise system to a concessionary Great British Railways public body (from 2023), COVID-19 travel restrictions to and from the United Kingdom, and the Integrated Rail Plan published in 2021 that outlines the long-term strategy for rail in northern England and the north of Scotland, it has more influence now than it did under Shapps’ predecessors.
Shapps was fired as the transport secretary by Johnson’s successor, Liz Truss, in September 2022, and he went back to the opposition benches.
In the midst of a political crisis in October 2022, Truss replaced Suella Braverman as home secretary with Shapps. Shapps was the Home Secretary for the shortest time in British political history, spending only six days.
Shapps replaced Jacob Rees-Mogg as Secretary of State for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy when Rishi Sunak was elected Prime Minister. In February 2023, he was named Energy Secretary, and in August 2023, he was named Defence Secretary.
From 2019 to 2022, he was the Johnson government’s secretary of state for transport. From October 2022 to February 2023, he was the Truss government’s secretary of state for business, energy, and industrial strategy.
From February 2023 to August 2023, he was the Johnson government’s secretary of state for energy security and net zero. He has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Welwyn Hatfield since 2005 and is a member of the Conservative Party.
