Hilarious: Shapps photoshops Boris out of Spaceport pic ahead of doomed launch

Looks like they had a few issues trying to erase his blonde mop, mind!

Grant Shapps appeared to photoshop his old boss Boris Johnson out of a Spaceport picture ahead of its doomed launch last night.

The business secretary tweeted a picture of himself standing by the rocket in Cornwall, saying the UK government is “delighted to be backing the first satellite launch from European soil”.

But the launch didn’t go quite to plan after the rocket – with a variety of civil and defence applications – failed to orbit.

In a series of tweets, Virgin Orbit said: “We appear to have an anomaly that has prevented us from reaching orbit. We are evaluating the information.

“As we find out more, we’re removing our previous tweet about reaching orbit. We’ll share more info when we can.”

Eagle-eyed Twitter users were quick to point out that the picture of Shapps was originally taken next to former PM Johnson, who now spends his time raking in big money from speaking gigs.

The editing skills would make North Korea blush.

Nice try, Shappsy.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
