Michael Gove's Time is Up.

[Bingoman]

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

He could end up in the house of lords

He could end up in the house of lords

Or doing a program about railway journeys on the telly box in an affable manner.

He could end up disappearing down the gullets of adelie penguins

Michael Gove named as Spectator editor after GB News backer’s takeover - The Guardian

Fraser Nelson and Andrew Neil out. Gove in as editor and Charles Moore taking over from Neil as Chair.

In 2016, Gove was responsible for scuppering Boris Johnson’s bid to lead the Conservatives by announcing his surprise entry into the race. He had been the director of Johnson’s campaign, and had promised to back the then mayor of London’s bid, but decided to run after concluding he could not “provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead”. (...) Gove’s penchant for enemy-making was also noted by former prime minister David Cameron, who said in his autobiography that “one quality shone through, disloyalty”, the pair having fallen out over Brexit. Former prime minister Liz Truss described him as “that snake” after he undermined her brief 45-day tenure by saying he would not vote for her budget when it was put before parliament.

So not all bad then.

Gove at least has a background in journalism. Not like when Osbourne was playing editor at the Evening Standard.

But still, the revolving door between press and politics should be fucking alarming, yet we seem to have sleepwalked in to accepting it as some kind of normal, when it’s a damaging thing for the country to have going on.

Let's hope we get the old Michael Gove back.
