to be worried about the new education minister.

[LEMmingaround]

The news I have heard/read about her is pretty worrying.

Bited against same sex marriage fue to being a member of c of e.
Voted to restrict abortions
Member of some sort of c of e politucal organisation.
Voted for 9k fees -university is not a right

I couldn't be happier that gove is gobe but im not sure about this person.

WHY WHY WHY can't we have someone who has at least worked in a school???

*voted

I know

She's also women and equality minister

Having worked in a school is no guarantee of quality (remember Estelle Morris? Although I don't think she was as bad as she is made out). I also think that anyone promoted by Cameron is going to be ideologically opposed to everything I hold dear. I wasn't holding my breath.

My politically savvy 17 year old tells me she's nearly as much as a risk as Gove.

I've not heard of her before.

No that is true cardi :(

Don't get me started! I've just spent the last half an hour ranting about it and I can feel my blood pressure rocketing! Glad Gove has knobbed off but this new woman hasn't even worked as a teacher for fucks sake!!!!!!!!! Aaagh, I'm angry!

She's another one of Cameron's oxbridge cronies. Nothing will change.

Of course nothing will change.

Despite the many threads demonising Gove as an individual, he was never pushing through personal ideas. He was ensuring government policy turned into action. There is no sign whatsoever in change of Coalition education policy. The anti-Gove personal witch-hunt (or should that be warlock-hunt?) has achieved nothing.

Except perhaps an own goal? He's gone, but the policies haven't. And demonising another person as an individual will just look silly now.

Seen her voting record and not impressed.

This will actually result in Gove being thrust in our faces on TV more often. Still glad he's gone though.

I met Estelle Morris. I liked her. Whatever her quality I thought she was a decent person.

Voted against same sex marriage? voted to restrict abortions?

But is appointed minister for equalities and women?

Well I suppose we should expect no better, really.

2015 is not too far away Mr Cameron. Worcester woman is still on MN...

Loathsome as Gove is at least he's passionately in favour of gay marriage.

Did Gove go to another position? Or shove off altogether?

Gove is now Chief Whip so pretty much a demotion

As Chief Whip he will be driving the Conservative campaign. Expect to see much more of him on our TV screens.
