When you give hope to the poor by levelling up
When you offer safety to Ukrainian refugees by giving shelter & fruit picking jobs.
Yet they sneer at you.
Just like Jesus in the temple,Michael Gove lost his temper.
Please let’s have faith in this good man

Beyond sick bucket

Give me 2 planks and five nails.
I'll run with that analogy.

[Youngian]

Why’s Gove coming out to bat? Embarrassing performance

[Cyclist]

May was a member of the Labour Party? Who knew!

[kreuzberger]

People trying to suggest that this country is not generous and experts. These people have an uncanny knack of showing Gove to be a monumentally slavver-lipped tosser of little merit.

Plus ça fuckin change.

[Boiler]

Miserable little pipsqueak of a man.

If he were on fire I'd bring petrol.

[satnav]

Saw a great tweet yesterday that said Gove is as honest as the day is long - as long as it is a January day in Norway.

[Andy McDandy]

And it's another sneaky lawyer answer.

True, the term was used by Liam Byrne in about 2007, but on a pretty theoretical level.

Gove said "under a Labour home secretary". Under. He could argue that means that it was cooked up at any point between 1997 and 2010, in CCHQ/Tufton Street. Like "under Johnson's tenure as mayor, London hosted the Olympics", or "after the Dominican Republic joined the Allies, Nazi Germany was defeated". Technically true, but implying that one was responsible for the other.

Looked like he had a bit of coke, evidently the other stuff if also getting to him

[Abernathy]

Well yes, Liam may well have talked about the concept, but it was he Tories that picked it up and ran with it, and of course :

Hardly a man-bites-dog story, but:

Private emails reveal Gove’s role in Tory-linked firm’s PPE deals

Michael Gove was secretly involved in the process through which a PPE company linked to the Tory peer Michelle Mone secured huge government contracts, according to newly released documents that show private emails being used for government business.

The correspondence threatens to embroil Gove in the deepening controversy surrounding PPE Medpro, the company awarded government contracts worth £203m after it was referred to the “high-priority lane” for well connected companies.

They will also add to the growing scepticism over Lady Mone’s repeated insistence that she was not involved with the company, and cast further doubt on statements made on her behalf by her lawyers. Her relationship to PPE Medpro is under investigation by the House of Lords commissioner for standards.

[davidjay]

Sorry for the repetition, but what the fuck do this lot have to do before they're forced to resign? In all seriousness, do they have to kill someone?

[Malcolm Armsteen]

They've already killed thousands.

It's all about the immigrants.

Now we know where he’s been, negotiating a trade deal with Columbia.

[MisterMuncher]

With the possible exception of the entertainment industry, where else would it be acceptable to appear for work visibly, audibly and obviously off your bake on fuck knows what?

[Nigredo]

A sober Gove for comparison.

Is he trying to be a ‘character’ to get in with the lads?

Local elections have put a spring in Tim’s step

[Malcolm Armsteen]

I must admit to being a stranger to the effects of the Colombian Marching Powder, but I would be happy to take the opinion of others - is he really off his tits? I'm more used to the excitable stage. His LBC interview with Ferrarrrarrri was equally bad in an um, aah, umm, err waffle way.

What, in the words of Mrs A, da fuck?

[kreuzberger]

Any habitual drug user using at that time of the morning is doing so in order that they might be able to function, so I think that it is more a case of him trying to seize the opportunity to prove that he is human - and missing spectacularly.

All that fidgeting? I would put that down to cum congealing on the inside of his upper thigh.

[Crabcakes]

I’m also not convinced he’s off his face so much as now well aware he will never be leader, but also knows where all the bodies are buried so can’t be booted out of his cushy non-job, so simply doesn’t give a shit.

He reminds me of someone a few months from retirement or a locked-in job change not giving two hoots what he says in meetings or to senior people because he’s done soon anyway.

Interviewed a Tory minister in the 90s with eyes like saucers and it was 10.00am. He’d had more than a bacon sarnie for a pick me up. Gove’s an irritating dweeb when he’s straight.
