Search Result for 'Michael Gove'

Mr Gove, who made a return to Cabinet yesterday as Levelling Up Secretary, spoke at the London Press Club Awards on Wednesday.

He's a "bit wet", Rees-Mogg said.

"Thirty five per cent of the additional money we are borrowing is for unfunded tax cuts, cutting taxes for the wealthiest is a display of the wrong values."

The sacking of Michael Gove is not going down well in the Conservative party. One former Boris Johnson ally tells me: “Sacking Gove is revenge. But Boris is now detached from reality. He is now like Putin.”

"These days he prefers a different kind of line, mind," said one cheeky person in response.

The Communities Secretary used several bizarre accents when asked about the prospect of an emergency budget.

The levelling up secretary put on a deep American accident and even tried his hand at Scouse in the interview.

"Can we just chuck it on the partisan nonsense and get on with delivering", he said while stomping his hand on the despatch box.

Many wondered how much worse the public response would be if Labour MP Diane Abbott made the gaffe – or former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
