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

[Classica]

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…

Quite funny really that they call themselves conservatives.

@SpindleInTheWind I've seen pictures of Sarah Vine recently and she looks about 10 years younger with a real glow to her. Clearly formally ending the marriage was the right thing for her.

He’s odd and has been for a long time. I lived in his constituency and he has zero self awareness.

Jesus fuck. Addiction hiding in plain sight.
Michael Gove and Boris always look terrible. Like Tennants Super Lager for breakfast unhealthy, hungover. How are they getting away with it?

They are laughing at us.

I'm picking adult nappy wearing in the sweepstakes.

You're all trying to distract from the triumphant Queen's speech with a plethora of proposals to help the hard-pressed, in addition to the PM's excellent advice to shop smarter. As with Kier's blatant attempt to take the oxygen of the the room with his performative proto-resignation, Boris oxygen probably won't be stolen.

And when was the last time man of the people Keir made a popular culture impression on the hoof in an interview? Common touch. Hardly.

Did the PM actually advise to shop smarter?😂
I might have to reassess my unilateral Johnson news embargo.

It doesnt surprise me hes a cokehead. But when you've got boris in charge all sorts of shit trickles down which annoys me more.

We would be sacked for less than this.

Backed up by George Eustace Eustice? 'telling struggling households they could manage their budget better through the cost-of-living crisis by "going for some of the value brands products" when food shopping'

practical real world advice unlike Keir's airy fairy inconsistent tax cut, tax rise technocratic advice. People would have saved thousands if they'd only thought of going for some value brands earlier. Combined with the Chancellor's tax cut in a couple of years when things will be more predictable, it's sensible advice and practical action from a government that feels everyone's pain.

No, it's wealth that trickles down like a shower of gold and silver.

@Bretonbear 100%

Another Tory MP, Lee Anderson, said today "There is not this massive use for food banks in this country. We have got generation after generation who cannot cook properly. They cannot cook a meal from scratch. They cannot budget."

So glad to have them dispensing their pearls of in-touch wisdom.

Bit of a shame recently, he was at one point about the only person in the cabinet who appeared to have a brain cell or two. Looks like he's fried them.

You must never have spoken to a teacher.

He's been totally bobbins for decades!

He’s turned into his own spitting image puppet.

I know Gove. That's just him unfiltered. Hungover at worst

twat! I bet he’s king of the kitchen and managing a tight budget

But I do have a question

who took home economics and nutrition out of schools?
some of the younger people in my team never had a cooking lesson at school, they’d had the cookers taken out the year before they started.

if their parents didn’t teach them, and now they are parents who don’t know ….

This video is two years old, but doesn’t seem to date!

That’s not me defending his comment by the way!
mid youve a tenner to feed the family on, your going for stuff that takes minimal fuel to cook, and things you know will fill them up and they will eat. Not a bolognaise that will do you for a week but has used £20 worth of fuel to cook

I just watched it and I didn't think he was on anything. I think he's just naturally talks in an expressive way.

i’ll leave this here

When he was in Education he was absolutely dreadful. However, when he went to Justice it was a bit of a pleasant surprise, in that he actually made one or two sensible decisions. Mind you, I think he came just after Grayling, and anyone looks intelligent in comparison to him.

I can't stand Gove but I'm sceptical that anyone reckless enough to do live TV off his tits on coke on a weekday morning would be able to function as a cabinet minister - even in Boris' cabinet. Tory HQ is pretty ruthless - if he were that much of a hopeless addict, they would (metaphorically) have handled him the loaded revolver and the glass of whisky by now.
