  • Do people like Michael Gove? Why did she bring him back, will that make her more popular?

    I can grudgingly see why Boris is popular, but Gove... not a clue

  • A lot of my friends work in education, so I'm not the best person to ask on the appeal of Gove. Most of them would gladly pay to watch him be tortured to death over a period of years.

    May has brought him back because she needs his support. She has to unite the entire Tory party so can't afford to have enemies. But in a party where divisiveness is a feature, I can't see how she can retain support on every topic.

  • Yes, the divisions within the Conservative party are greater than ever, and with Theresa May having failed in her attempt to force through a restricted agenda, she now has to try to draw together the various and different extremes. Coalition of chaos indeed.

  • mespilus junior reminds me,
    that when Gove ran the Department of Education,
    Climate Change was expunged from the GCSE curricula.

    Fear for the Environment.
