... Previously serving as Immigration Minister - where he approved a return to Britain’s much loved blue passports - popular Mr Lewis was hotly tipped for the job.

But his promotion was briefly overshadowed by an embarrassing Twitter gaffe when the party’s official account announced the job had actually gone to Transport boss Chris Grayling.

... The first sign of Theresa’s unusual approach to rebooting her government came with the appointment of Chris Grayling as Conservative party chairman. That it took 27 seconds for the prime minister to realise her mistake was a surprise: most people don’t need nearly that much time to work out that Grayling is invariably the wrong person for any job. An hour later, Brandon Lewis was made party chairman instead. Not even Brandon’s three friends are too sure who he is.

>> an embarrassing Twitter gaffe

Amazing the play Twitter gets worldwide.

It didn’t invent the combustion engine. It didn’t invent the light bulb. It didn’t invent television. And it didn’t invent Al Gore’s Internet... it’s just software...

Thanks Berlin_Freeper. May was hand-picked as PM by the anti-Brexit UK "deep state" a-holes, and her sole job is to avoid implementing Brexit by whatever means are necessary. So far she's called an early election in order to lose the outright parliamentary majority won by her predecessor, David Cameron -- and that is consistent with her one job, avoiding Brexit. She's completely unfit for the office.
