I wonder why he fessed up? The story must have been about to be sensationally splashed over the papers so this is his attempt at damage limitation. Watch people coming out of the woodwork with Gove's chinged up shenanigans. Cant wait.

There’s s book coming out about the hypocritical tosser, it was coming out anyway.

I read it somewhere the other day, found it on the BBC

According to the ERSC the figures are

Over 66 is 38%
56 to 65 is 18%
46 to 55 is 16%
36 to 45 is 11%
26 to 35 is 10%
18 to 25 7%

It certainly is. That narrow section of the population is going to choose our next PM.

Gove introduced legislation when he was Education secretary that banned teachers being caught using Class A drugs from returning to their jobs.

So you can't return to a classroom to teach, but you can still expect apparently to run the country?

Not sure he was an MP when he committed the crimes. Need people from all walks of life (including criminals), not just career politicians, to represent us.

Agree it's a small number who will be deciding the next PM (though not as small as gave us the last one), but is their average age any or much different from the average age of actual voters (as opposed to the electorate) in a GE?

He wasn’t an MP then, but that’s not my point. He expects clemency for his error in judgement, but introduced policy later in life to make that impossible for others who either make a choice or “err” with drugs.

Given that one of the ****s currently running for PM is going to end up Prime ****, which of them would you prefer?

This is my issue with him. Apparently around the time he was hoovering ching he wrote a newspaper article condemning middle class drug users, then as you point out made laws that have destroyed many peoples lives. This should destroy his or at least his political career

Thanks for clarifying, he would never have mentioned it because he was genuinely remorseful cos he's a self serving prick.

I find it hard to believe that during the 80s and 90s Messrs Cameron and Johnson and friends didn't take a few drugs along with trashing restaurants and assaulting pigs.

Why does my opinion matter worth a jot here? Or why is it relevant to my thoughts on Gove?

Neither of the candidates I'd "like" to end up being PM are likely to get enough votes to get them through the first round anyway, so it's irrelevant.

I'm used to being treated as "politically hostile" on here, so pardon my suspicion.

None of the "big names" thrill me as future PM, but Johnson/Gove please me the least.

I wouldn't object to Rory Stewart or Sam Gyimah (he did a lot of good as Universities' minister), but neither will get through the first round of voting.

Rory Stewart isnt the huge outsider many believe. Granted he won't win though....he's too honest.

[cabbageandribs1875]

hancock on just now telling all how much he loves the NHS, he probably won't mention the 32k he has received from the chairman of a think-tank that wants to abolish the NHS


or maybe he will, seeing as all the candidates are going through a 'truth' stage :)

Come on Je me souviens?

At least the Modfather tries to argue his best despite limited arguments that at least demonstrates a fighting scots attitude. You don't show that which tells me you're just a trouble maker with no real hard interest in what happens here in Scotland. If I'm right you'd be better doing one.

Mon the Scots.

Sorry, I have you on ignore.

Anyway, the Spanish government position on Scotland is that it's an internal matter for the UK and if Scotland becomes independent with recognition from the rUK government, then that's fine by them. Josep Borrell, the PSOE foreign minister, whose department fired this consul bloke, is on record saying as much.

On Rockall, it's been a disputed territory between the UK, Iceland and Ireland for decades. The Scottish government is just asserting the UK position. Presumably post-Indy we'd make the same claim.

Anything else?

That would leave Gove, Hancock, Hunt, Javid, Johnson & Raab as things stand.

I think Johnson has admitted drug use, including cocaine, in the past. There's certainly footage from a HIGNFY episode he was presenting in which he references it.

I have a bit of inside knowledge on this. Compared to other people who have served as ministers over the past nine years, Stewart is an outsider in Tory Whitehall circles. He is unpopular with many of his peers. His first appointment to be the junior Defra water minister and later as the prisons minister were intended to kill his ministerial career.

But as a Eton and Oxford educated Secretary of State, of course he is a insider compared to the average person

He’s Teflon though. He’s like Trump, nothing seems to put off his core support down south.
