From Transport Minister Grant Shapps on Facebook:

Quote
Today I launch my campaign to be the next leader of the Conservative & Unionist Party and Prime Minister.
I am a problem solver, with a proven record of delivery.
Our country faces huge challenges, but with the right leader our best days can still lie ahead.
My case for the leadership is simple.
I can plan. I can communicate. I can campaign. I can deliver.
And I can win an election for our party in tough times.
