I was being charitable. Grant Shapps voted to remain, although he later said in Parliament:

"When it came to the 2016 referendum, I could see both sides of the argument, and it took me right up to the ballot box itself to decide that I would vote remain, which I did."

However, I do not believe he actually thinks leaving EASA is a good idea.
