You are being totally unreasonable. If the timings go right, Sajid Javid would make a good leader: brave and modest; quietly witty and devoted to his family. And his back story, he just made it by his own efforts to head up a bank.
I liked him as a leadership contender before, and I admire the way he asked for an enquiry into anti-Muslim prejudice in politics.
Of course Gove can't be PM. His judgement is terrible. If you're going to knife your friend and ally in the back, at least know you have a chance of winning the race.
If Boris is a deceitful showman, yet got elected, that tells you that you need to be a showman. Judging by Petronella What's reflections and memoirs, Gove is a nice person in private, but politics isn't about how you come across at private gatherings. None of the good qualities he purportedly has translate into the public perception, at all. Add to that the infighting and alliancing he does, then forget it. The way he attaches himself to other contenders and then pisses them off, it would knock Truss and another out of the running with one roll of the scandal ten pin ball. They'd go down like skittles, because all his manoeuvring and leaking to the press has the effect of damaging everyone.
Yes, nice idea to make GCSEs harder to select the best, but he should have put in place more foundation level options and entry level papers for the less academic. Many kids just can't access the exam questions, ( especially in English) yet these kids have a lot to give. Functional skills needs to be overhauled as a spec, to give breadth of interest and challenge. He isn't as good at delivering as he is at thinking.
His wife will be wishing she'd sat it out!
