Gove didn't even stay awake for the result and his wife said You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off'

Daily mail link as that is who she writes for but this is further proof - straight from the horses mouth that Leave never thought they'd win and have no clue what to do now.

It's horrifying that they have played with people's lives like this.

As he all but disappeared over the next few days I'm not sure what he was going to be fresh for.

I cant see the fuss op.

However its all a bit - not sure of the word...having all these journos in power or their wives .

Its like on these celeb programs - in the jungle, you watch five mins of interaction then they go and privately tell you their thoughts about it.

This is starting to get the same.
Boris does something and we get the background story from Rachel his journo sister, intimate details of his birthday party and his demeanor and now this with Gove?

Interesting article here by Mark Steel (if you like him, I know he's a n acquired taste for some).

The accompanying photo gave me quite a turn.

I'm sorry to derail the thread with something so juvenile, but I went to the article and I couldn't help noticing Gove's, ahem, 'package'. Is he the only one in the party with balls, do you think?

Possibly, but nowadays we're leaning towards leaders with ovaries, it seems.

Not really the point, but I just read the article and (as a Remain voter) was actually fairly encouraged by the comments I read on there. It's not often I find any comments I agree with on the DM website!

Back to the point, who knows if this is really the true version of events. If she wrote this, there must be an impression of her and Gove she's trying to convey. She is clearly a great manipulator. Surely nobody believes the email was leaked by accident.

Bookaboo I really wish you hadn't given me that image just before I'm going to sleep.

It may be that some of the politicians who backed brevity didn't want to win, but democracy has meant that the slim majority who have voted wanted this. Therefore that is what will happen, it may be that some on both sides were not 100per cent sure, however at the time that was how they voted. We have a result now and it is in britain's interest to make it work.

Bookaboo - YES. Terrible trousers. Something's going wrong there. Not exactly statemen's-like.

Clearly these people did not expect for the Leave vote to get up. Who goes to sleep on such an important night? And what is this "We" business? No one voted for Sarah Vine.

Such a disingenuous article. Horrid, foolish pair.

I find it hard to believe that they didn't stay up.

I'm not terribly political but found myself waking up at 4.15 and then couldn't tear myself away from the car crash on my screen.

it's a weird world when I find myself routing for Theresa May to be the next PM.

Any chance that Gove and Vine stab each other in the back? Like, on a 2 for 1 deal?

BOGOF - Gove and Vine?

Does anyone know where you can buy parchment nowadays? There's someone who I'd like to send some to.

Tanaqui - the film is Downfall.

I see the Daily Mail are backing Theresa May for PM.

Thank you Roomba!
