@HandyGirl76

Tories still riding high in the polls... who is voting for these morons???
Give it time. This lot of shit has only just hit the fan. There’s a lot more.

They're supposed to be swingers, apparently.
You know I really cannot get my head around that 😃😃

Who - Mr and Mrs Gove?!

the80sweregreat · 26/06/2021 21:05

The Sun is protecting their ' source' no doubt.
I bet they are on holiday someone lovely drinking porn star martinis and checking out their new bank account!

Nicolastuffedone · 26/06/2021 21:06

Eugh…..imagine throwing in your car keys and you get Gove!! No, I can’t believe he’s a swinger 😩🙈

Roussette · 26/06/2021 21:10

Gove is a swinger?? 🤮

Surely not, how could you keep that discreet

SpindleWhorl · 26/06/2021 21:10

Well I read it on MN so it must be true.

BiscoffAddict · 26/06/2021 21:11

Allegedly there’s another video of them at it in a lift/elevator.

They are classy aren't they?
SpindleWhorl · 26/06/2021 21:14

I think that's what Diane Abbott was alluding to in her tweet, with her pointed tagging in of Sarah Vine. It's a bit of a dig about an open secret, I would think.

the80sweregreat · 26/06/2021 21:18

Makes me wonder what else will come out then.
I think her name is Oxenbury ? A journalist was on sky earlier on alluding to more things ' to come' . She seemed ' in the know'

I think he’s taken us for mugs, when he said he’d broken social distancing rules..
Is that all you want to apologise for Matt??

Dave20 · 26/06/2021 21:20

Boris must be wondering what was his team can do to fuck things up...

A Gove sex tape 🤯

Oh god I’ll stay off the internet the day that leaks!
Dave20 · 26/06/2021 21:25

Funny how Hancocks colleagues all backed him up, saying it was a private matter.
Yet members of the public were fined for breaking covid restrictions.
How can the government seriously tell anyone what to do from now on and have any credibility?

Yes, but a year ago they were all making excuses for Cummings, until he started dishing the dirt. I bet they wish they'd just kept their mouths shut yesterday.

A Gove sex tape Even worse that Hancock!

YouthfulIndiscretion · 26/06/2021 21:31

I was at university at the same time as Gove. Whilst we did not move in the same social circles (to put it mildly) AFOAFOAF told me he has form.

bettyfloormop · 26/06/2021 21:31

Apparently he's left his wife for her..

Postboxwatcher · 26/06/2021 21:47

Why can’t they put someone in as health secretary who understands the NHS and the people working in it.

Sajid Javid is an investment banker.....

jazzandh · 26/06/2021 21:48

I have a weird reaction to this. Although I am only 10 years older than him, it feels like he is a stupid teenage son that has made a really shit decision!

Regardless of whether he was actually competent at the job, I always got the sense that he was trying his best and that he actually cared!

The fact that he has made such a catastrophic fuck up feels like a real blow.

londonscalling · 26/06/2021 21:50

@doubleshotespresso

They all need to go. He ought to have been sacked. Disgraceful

This!

Guavafish · 26/06/2021 21:56

Conservative trash!

Wineisrequired · 26/06/2021 21:56

Absolute cockwomble should have gone ages ago. Whoever set up the hidden camera has done us all a favour. Feel sorry for his wife and kids though

Dave20 · 26/06/2021 22:00

Jobs for family and friends. New Years honours. Passing laws, by passing others. Awarding contracts to mates. It all stinks.
Cronyism has always existed, but this government are terrible.
