Michael Gove

[spanners and hammers]

theres only one reason people become go into politics and it is not for the good of the people

You know what I notice! No sooner is a Tory PM appointed, than the conversation turns to who should be the next one. Meaning the one who has just plonked its arse in the chair, is proving to be not up to it!
Best get ahead of the curve this time. Who should be he second next Tory PM?

And the Labour politicians?

Is Gove's opinion the only one that counts when it comes to conservative party elections ?

As regards the 1922 commitee election process - yes, it was enough for Boris to bow out.

And the Labour politicians?

They haven’t been now for quite sine time, so hard to figure the current lot.

I wonder why.

It should have been Rory Stewart but he tried for the job when everybody knew he would just be another May which wasn't what was needed with Brexit. Unfortunately he spat the dummy out when he should just have sat quiet and waited till the time was right.

Just watched Michael Gove on the Andrew Farce show .
Very impressed with the way he handled the questioning . Never been a fan of his since he was environmental sec but he is beginning to sound like a future PM .
Anyone else think this ?

I hope not. He was an awful education secretary amd is a career politician. Snake in the grass maybe

According to reports in Telegraph today...he’s tipped for Health Secretary in the New Year!!

Usually I’d be thinking what’s he going to fek up next.......... he might have his work cut out this time

The problem is the dearth of talent now in the Tory Party. They are all either devious, incompetent, bonkers or all three in many cases. I am at a loss who I would make a cabinet up out of nowadays, but I am ever hopeful that there must be some honest talent out on the back benches.

That's what I think the problem is, too many inexperienced lightweights, too many good cabinet members got sidelined as they weren't prepared to carry out the will of the people on Brexit. There may be some up and coming talent to come through but it's like a football team, the young ones need to come through gradually to gain experience, the last thing we need is even less experience than we have currently.
