Wanker

Because he has psychopathic tendencies...if there are any phycologists around, please offer your professional opinion. Would this man rank high on the DMC5 test?

What wouldn't he defend? The man is as bad as his boss! Get them out of our hair, they are killing us.

He can pay it then?

Lying c♦nt.

It’s not Gove’s money that’s being chucked down the karzee so of course it’s well spent. What a great scam these guys have going.

They won’t help minimum wage in North and midlands but spend Billions on their favoured, revolving door, private companies. No tendering or scrutiny. In parliament, when he got his MPs to agree coronavirus legislation, he said contracts would be scrutinised. He lied

What Surely there’s some mistake?

Serco- Tory ministers and donors. Why are we surprised? Many of those reading this will have voted them in.

The Brexit shambles exposes all the lies told by Gove and his political class. Does he care? Not a bit it seems. He probably believes there are enough gullible voters to keep the Tories in power at the next general election. ToryLiars ToryIncompetence

Vile man.

By any standard that is so excessive. Name and shame those profiteering

Corruption to another level

Toad

He’s not going to want to see his chums out of pocket is he? That would just be plain awkward 😳💸💸💸

Probably relatives!

7 grand a day?!

They spend our money like water lining the pockets of people ripping us off most of whom are their mates total scum bags the lot of them rotten and corrupt you would think if you heard this on the news that they would be talking about a third world country

Disbelief he skated over, hinting they doing great job and worth every penny! Write this 100 times 'They are useless and must payback all their fees! '

He is not all there

Have they employed Ronaldo. 7 grand a day. Wtf?

Defending the defenceless as usual. Literally the worst, most reprehensible self invested kind of minister there is. His career has been completely negative for the U.K.

Give needs investigated.

I'm in the wrong profession

I despise that man.

He could defend selling his own mother no integrity no principles

Wow! The evidence of the majority of government projects and policies suggest he was robbed!!

Mad 😡

Ridiculous. Also, dont believe a word Gove ever says.

Coronavirus: Michael Gove accuses Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham of 'posturing' over COVID rules stand-offMichael Gove has accused Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham of 'posturing' and 'political positioning' in refusing to accept strict new COVID-19 rules. Silly games at Westminster. Boris told by PR team not to make further threats to Manchester (not a good look).. so his buddy is wheeled out to do it instead. They're just spoiled rich kids playing the same games they did at private school. Overpaid and in jobs at little risk. Andy Burnham wants workers to receive financial support and compensation for locking down. If Gove doesn't understand that people on low incomes getting 66% of this won't cause them serious hardships he should go and have a chat with his boss, who can't get by on 150K FFS!! It's a non story since michaelgove is paid to support his master's bidding, and himself has a dubious relationship with 'truth'! So why should we pretend to be surprised by his comments. Though Govt has to make Policy, we don't yet live in an authoritarian dictatorship: listen!

Andy Burnham accuses Boris Johnson of ‘exaggerating’ coronavirus situation in ManchesterRemarks come as Michael Gove accuses Greater Manchester mayor of ‘political posturing’ King in the north! He should spend more time focussed on those in his city that chose not to follow the rules. Deal with your own rule breakers rather than blaming others and expecting other tax payers to bail you out with more money you are in charge, get control It's blatantly obvious that Johnson has no clue that in Mcr we've been living in these restrictions since the end of July. Tier 2 is a reprieve as I got to see my family outside for the first time since then. Govt need to focus on the problem which is the test and trace system.
