Thank Goodness that Gove's out of the running!!

[Notsogrimupnorth]

I know we're not out of the worst of it by a long chalk but bloody hell - what a relief!!

[UnderTheGreenwoodTree]

Yes indeed.

[waitingforsomething]

Agree. Unfortunately Andrea Leadsom is still there though. Awful woman who would be a disastrous pm

[LumpySpacedPrincess]

Gove was never interested in the job. He did it to allow Johnson to wiggle off and lick his wounds. Both will be back.

[Peregrina]

I am not sure that both will be back. Johnson, yes, because he's a chancer. Gove, I suspect, has ruined his own career, and will sit out this Parliament but then stand down.

[LumpySpacedPrincess]

Or he'll write a book.

[Hepzibar]

That no-one, ever, will read.

Lumpy has it. Gove wasn't the back stabber of Boris everyone has assumed. He helped him out.
