Good riddance to bad rubbish

MargaretThatcherMilkSnatcher · 26/06/2021 18:23

He's gone!

Just on the Times website now.

Blossomtoes · 26/06/2021 18:23

That’s that then. It’s going to be interesting to see who replaces him.

Roussette · 26/06/2021 18:23

Thank goodness. There is some justice.

Not enough but he's gone. Good good good.

He resigned. I think we need someone focused one getting us out of this mess, not someone obsessed about further rules and lockdowns.

MargaretThatcherMilkSnatcher · 26/06/2021 18:24

Jesus. Apparently he told his wife on Thursday night that he was having an affair and that he was leaving her. And he resigned yesterday evening...???

MercyBooth · 26/06/2021 18:24

Just resigned according to Channel 4 news.

SauvignonBlanche · 26/06/2021 18:24

Good riddance

My money is on Gove.

His resignation letter makes zero mention of his wife, not at all. Hmm He also talks about his "private life" creating a distraction, as if he didn't also give fuck loads of our taxpayer money to this woman and her family. Berk.

Berkity berk berk berk. Hmm

Ridiculous. 150,000 dead but resigns over an extra-marital affair.

Also, he should have been sacked and not allowed to resign.

CovidCorvid · 26/06/2021 18:25

He’s resigned!

Ostara212 · 26/06/2021 18:25

The disease so dreadful we needed to...oh wait...l

Yes to all this

@bitheby

He released a resignation video on Twitter. First time I've got breaking news from Mumsnet before it was on the bbc.
Do you think he filmed the resignation video from the garden because his wife won’t let him in the house?
Peregrina · 26/06/2021 18:25

He's resigned apparently. Breaking news.

LizzieSiddal · 26/06/2021 18:25

At last- some accountability from this government.

If theyd got away with another minister breaking the rules of Office, god knows what they’d do next.

CovidCorvid · 26/06/2021 18:25

Bloody hell, Gove will probably be health secretary.

MrsBunHat · 26/06/2021 18:26

Hes resigned! The total goon

:o

Roussette · 26/06/2021 18:26

I think the affair was/is the final nail for him.

Feedingthebirds1 · 26/06/2021 18:26

he's gone!

OrchestraOfWankery · 26/06/2021 18:27

He's resigned!

mathanxiety · 26/06/2021 18:27

Good decision?

@Clavinova

BiscoffAddict · 26/06/2021 18:27

Does that mean we won’t find out more juicy stuff tomorrow then?😂
