GRANT SHAPPS’S credibility looked near total collapse yesterday after the Tory chairman was snared in a second double identity scandal.

The minister, who previously denied and then admitted carrying on his iffy online marketing business under the pseudonym Michael Green after entering Parliament, claimed he was the victim of Labour smear tactics.
