Michael Gove steps down in mass exodus of MPs before election

The second full day of campaigning is marked by an exodus of MPs, including long-serving Mr Gove.

I kind of liked Gove just because he was pretty much the only Tory that actually seemed smart and relatively intellectual. I suppose if you spend your career standing next to the likes of Hancock and Johnson that's not too hard to pull off, though.

The damage he did to schools and the national curriculum in particular will take a generation to unpick, even if anyone is actually motivated to do it.

He legislated for schools to have 'company directors'; the fucking radicalised extremist

 

[Silas Loom]

He wasn’t terrible at MoJ, if only in that he reversed most of the mad shit that Grayling did. But definitely a disaster at DfE, and pointless everywhere else.

And another Tory too leftwing for Starmer's Labour.


Perhaps, he will return to parochial duties.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Wasn't he also housing at one point? Clearly he did fuck all there if so.

 

[Dogsauce]

It’s fucked up that in today’s Tory party he seemed like one of the sane and competent ones. I can remember when he was part of the more extreme wing.

Presume Murdoch has a gig for him somewhere given their past relationships.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

or pick up his TV career again?



(from about 2011/12)

 

[two sheds]

Perhaps go back to comedy ("played the school chaplain in the 1994 family comedy A Feast at Midnight.[40]") although arguably he never left.

Does it fuck ..he's been Murdochs man in cabinet the whole time

Fair enough. Maybe rupert will sort him out then.

 

[MickiQ]

Learning that Gove was going made Mrs Q's day yesterday she really hasn't forgiven him for when he was Education Secretary

My sister works in a school in Surrey Heath and he comes in every now and then and all the staff are under strict orders to be nice to him. The head issues a statement to all staff along the lines of, "Yes he's ruined our schools and is scum, but we still have to be professional." Apparently they all find his visits to be the hardest part of their jobs.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Maybe he's quit cos it seems than John Travolta is too old to do the sequel for Saturday Night Fever?

The whinging, woke Marxist ingrates; don't these wasters know that Gove spent £370k on sending an specially inlaid, leather-bound version of the King James bible to every school including theirs.

I didn't know that, She's currently out but when she gets back I will have to ask Mrs Q if she knew about it and what happened to the one sent to her school.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

I'll ask my sister to nick it.

 

[MickiQ]

Mrs Q only remembered the Bibles after we googled it (it being about a dozen years ago), In answer to what might have happened to the one sent to her school, her answer was "How the hell would I know Mick?"

 

[weltweit]

Wonder what Gove will do now?

Don't care, just wonder!

 

[stavros]

Wasn't he also housing at one point? Clearly he did fuck all there if so.

He's been at Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (formerly DCLG) for the whole of Sunak's tenure.

He and Hunt are, I think, the only remaining ministers from the first Cameron cabinet, which included such luminaries as Hague, IDS, Lansley and Paterson.

Gove is a turd but he did give the impression that he could actually use his brain rather than blindly follow the lead of whoever was PM
His is a very safe seat so he is unlikely to get voted out, I wonder if he is standing down because he is worried he might get pressured into being the new leader. He is smart enough to know that is a poisoned chalice.

That doesn’t make any sense. Tories compete like rats in a sack to be leader; nobody gets press ganged into the job.

Nah, the twat just can't imagine just being an opposition MP + there's serious money to be raked in

 

[MickiQ]

There isn't going to be a lot of choice this time round so he is bound to be a favourite. On the other hand whoever takes over for Sevenbins is very unlikely to get to be PM and will just be a place keeper.
Perhaps Gove feels now is the time to cash in and earn some serious money being a non-excutive director/wheel greaser or perhaps he is a man of principle who has decided that this is best for him, his party and the country but he doesn't strike me as the sort of man who might think like that.

I don’t think Gove could ever be PM, too many skeletons, and worked in the media so they will all know his habits.

So it seems we may have seen the last of the malignant Gove. Rejoice!
