He looks all but finished now
Will be especially amusing if Boris is offered a cabinet job and Gove out in the wilderness

Maybe but the front runner for the tories rarely wins.
If he can finish 2nd to the MPs he has a great chance with the members who may want a brexit leader

The Conservative Party members are every bit as crackers as their Labour counterparts in their own way so anything can happen here. The blue rinse brigade don't much like foreigners so whichever brexiteer remains standing (Gove or Leadsome) has every chance.

Voting for someone who wears a nice tie, or speaks properly or looks good etc etc. Rather than listening to what's actually proposed. Whoever ends up in No10 has to have UK PLC as a priority and the leave issue handled separately in my opinion. It doesn't have to be a leave campaigner. Personally I think May has got her head sorted with this. Appoint a separate body to oversee the departure strategy headed up by an experienced group capable of the task. If that includes a proportion of exit voters, fine. I just don't think that the top job goes to a leaver by automatic default.

The whole thing has been fudged to make sure we get a soft on Europe leader Ken Clarkes interference with his pretend faux pas is nothing short of disgraceful. The bloke needs hitting hard by an asteroid ....should have been silenced after Maggie was assassinated
On another note American middle earners are struggling to cope with this TTIP Causing job losses ........the European Union are looking to welcome this shit in soon

Why the hell does anyone think it's a good idea . One key feature is large American corporations will be able to sue governments if they implement policies. That reduce their profits.

Thought I'd revive this just in case there is a leadership contest and Gove is a contender. In my opinion he would be a disaster, for the country and the Tories.
I did think that the first clip was a spoof, but then again he always seems like a spoof of himself to me.

It’s almost as if the fact that because we now have some even weirder creatures, like Rees-Mogg, he’s become even potentially acceptable as a person.

How apt But yes a spoof We should always have had a brexiteer leading us through brexit Gove or Boris it’s like Sophie’s choice. Our parliamentarians of this age both red and blue are nowhere near as good or half way decent of decades gone past

That's obviously some sort of satirical show, so let's not get carried away.
People have been mocking Hitler for almost 100 years. And they have been mocking members of the royal family probably for 1000 years.
Like it or not, Gove will be a contender to succeed Mrs May.

Looks like May is a gonner now and Gove is 5/2 fav to be the next leader with 365.
Save us Jebus. Save us.

Favourite for a second in command position behind another remainer according to 5Live. Brexit means Brexit
In the same article Labour will back May's deal if it can be put to another "once in a lifetime vote"
Surely there's got to be one decent politician in there somewhere?

Now I talk to a fair range of people from dyed in the wool forever Tories to the raving left wing socialists and I don't think those 600 plus individuals living in their Westminster bubble realise just how much contempt the public has for them. Yesterday's conversations with a Labour supporting remainer farmer and a Conservative voting former nurse and Brexit voter were interesting. Both scathing about politicians.

You only have to check Twitter and Facebook accounts and see how many long time party voters are leaving and cancelling membership. The God saving grace of the Tories is Jeremy Corbyn.

My mother-in-law had a saying for people like Gove. Pobby gob. Sums him up for me. Little tweot. On another subject, reading a certain paper today,, is how much these top boys of companies get put into their pension pots. Disgraceful greed of the highest order! Why on earth do these people get so much, when in a realistic world, they earn more than enough to look after themselves?

Why on earth do these people get so much, when in a realistic world, they earn more than enough to look after themselves? It’s an interesting Rob. I suppose if you had such a lucrative pension you couldn’t wait to chuck the towel in, a £@#& you fund if you like. But let me ask you this, With the current cost of living, when can you realistically envisage retiring comfortably on your pension...

Whatever your political stance, it stretches credibility to think that there's not a fairer way of distributing money. When people working full time can't make ends meet while some have more money than is humanly possible to spend in 50 lifetimes, there's something seriously fucked up going on.

The problem with wealth redistribution is that it leads to an entitlement culture which ends up rewarding the idle and feckless. That's a problem already in this country thanks to welfarism, even more wealth redistribution will only make the problem worse

I'm not some bleeding-heart liberal. Nothing pisses me off more to be honest. I don't pretend to have a single solution other than pie-in-the-sky stuff that would never happen. I just think the gap between the rich and the honest working person is frankly, a bit sick. Too many working people having to make do and just get by nowadays. It's not how life should be.

I honestly think the best fit is a small state (meaning less taxation/more disposable income for all) and incentives for small and medium business to push on. Long story short - it's not the gap between rich and poor, it's the lack of decent opportunities and competition in the market that gives less chances for those at the bottom to pull themselves up.

I don't know a single person who works in Westminster that doesnt think Gove has done a fantastic job at Defra.
His attention to detail in policy briefings and taking evidenced based cross party ideas on is something you rarely see.
Curious - As this thread seems to have descended into being a bit more about the sums people can earn.
Has anyone actually looked at his Ministerial record in the past 2 years?
