The Conservative party chairman has hit back at criticism of an advert he tweeted celebrating the cuts in bingo tax and beer duty that opponents called "condescending". Grant Shapps told the BBC: "Personally, I drink beer and I love a game of bingo".

The source said it could not be withdrawn as it was not part of a wider campaign involving other media such as TV and radio.
But they added: "We are quite proud of those tax cuts... We stand by what was said in that advert."
