Did you see Michael Gove's appearance on TV this morning?

Bloody hell.

I would allege that his ‘wacky’ performance indicates he was off his actual tits. Whether high on life, or something else, I really couldn’t say…

Looks like someone told him to give his a head a wobble.

Cocaine

CloudPop · 11/05/2022 14:09

Beyond belief

DH has just played it to me on his phone. That guy is going to die of an overdose if he's not careful. It's at least the third time I've seen evidence of him seriously off his tits while working.

RishiRich · 11/05/2022 14:16

He's clearly high.

DeadButDelicious · 11/05/2022 14:17

Absolutely offf his box.

Rupertpenrysmistress · 11/05/2022 14:28

I saw this interview and just though typical tory Pratt. Do People genuinely think he has taken something? Or is it a joke. I mean he is a weird little man.

mmmmmmghturep · 11/05/2022 14:38

I remember the clip of him in the House of Commons where he was barely able to stand up.

Classica · 11/05/2022 14:42

And there was that footage a few months ago of him looking lively in a club in Aberdeen. He'd arrived on his own apparently.

He looked high to me. It was really really weird. Not just just strange little tory weird but coked up weird.

chisanunian · 11/05/2022 14:44

Ugh.

<shudders with revulsion>

Pollydonia · 11/05/2022 14:45

High as a kite.

EvilPea · 11/05/2022 14:46

Did anyone see the comedy program he did years ago?

it wasn’t very funny. But gave me an insight into his motivations.

MayorDusty · 11/05/2022 14:47

Oh yeah he's at it.
Thought he was funny with the calm down laa though.
The scandal brewing there will be epic.

BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation · 11/05/2022 14:48

Perhaps it's crystal meth and he's going to start tweaking next 🤪 he's only one step away 🤭

SpindleInTheWind · 11/05/2022 14:49

WTAF?! Quite a bit of the white stuff involved in his life, yup. Which, given he's being touted as in the running for future Prime Minister, does need to be discussed as openly as he abuses substances.

Lonelycrab · 11/05/2022 14:50

That’s what being high on cocaine looks like.

Classica · 11/05/2022 14:50

I wonder if he was like this when married too.

Sarah Vine is currently writing about packing up the house and moving out, post-divorce. She did well to get out of the marriage while she did, because he's stopped even bothering trying to function now.

I do wonder if 'Michael will be taking some time away from politics to focus on his health' might be coming fairly soon?

Reluctantadult · 11/05/2022 15:01

What, really??

No. Boris likes to keep all the scandal around him so he looks the sane one

WakeWaterWalk · 11/05/2022 15:14

How about mandatory drink and drug testing for anyone making decisions of national importance?

Classica · 11/05/2022 15:22

The Sunday Times had a report a few months ago that stated most toilets in the Commons tested positive for cocaine and that the place 'stank of weed' and that it was common to 'see messed up people wandering the halls'.

I had this on and thought I caught a CALM Down Scouse thing, but told myself not to be ridiculous and drink more coffee cos I was clearly still asleep.

OMG. it actually happened. It did didn't it? Teen DS even noticed.

WTAF is he on?
