Denials of pseudonym and second job[edit]
Shapps's use of the pen names Michael Green and Sebastian Fox attracted controversy in 2012. He denied having used a pseudonym after entering parliament and, in 2014, threatened legal action against a constituent who had stated on Facebook that he had. In February 2015 he told LBC Radio presenter Shelagh Fogarty, "Let me get this absolutely clear...I don't have a second job and have never had a second job while being an MP. End of story."[59]
In March 2015, Shapps admitted to having had a second job whilst being an MP and practising business under a pseudonym.[60][61] In his admission he stated that he had 'over-firmly denied' having a second job.[62] In March 2015, Dean Archer, the constituent previously threatened with legal action by Shapps, threatened Shapps with legal action.[63][64]
Under the name Michael Green, Schapps offered customers a "get-rich-quick scheme" costing $497 and promised customers a "toolkit" that would earn them $20,000 dollars in 20 days, provided they followed its instructions.[65]
Allegations of Wikipedia editing[edit]
In 2012 the Guardian reported that Shapps's English Wikipedia article had been edited from his office to remove embarrassing information and correct an error.[66][67][68] Shapps stated that he had not touched his Wikipedia biography for years[69] and that he only edited to make it more accurate.[70]
During the 2015 general election campaign the Guardian reported allegations by a Wikipedia administrator that Shapps had used a sockpuppet account, Contribsx, to remove embarrassing material from his own English Wikipedia page and make "largely unflattering" edits to articles about other politicians, including some in his own party.[71][72]
Shapps denied the allegations;[73] the Telegraph claimed his accuser was a "Liberal Democrat activist".[74] English Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee found there was "no significant evidence" to link the Contribsx account to Shapps.
The elected committee censured the administrator responsible for the allegation; for causing the investigation; for making false allegations to The Guardian; and for blocking the Contribsx account. Another administrator removed the block placed on the account.[75]
