      Interviewer: Mr Fox, are you declaring for the Tory leadership imbroglio?

        Where's Nick Clegg when a weary nation needs him most?

            It is rather more comforting to think that Gove has some reservations about Boris Johnson though, isn't it?

              It's predictable but hugely depressing that at a time of National crisis the bitch is more concerned that he has his media advisors than any policy advisors and the admission that the cunts Dacre and Murdoch are the real power players.

                May is tonking Johnson in latest poll of Tory members.

                  Gove announces he's standing, claims Johnson isn't up to it.

                  "Boris cannot provide the leadership."

                    Gove wants a go.

                          That's harsh on pound shops.

                          Unless a box of Toffifee emerges as the unity candidate, which no longer seems entirely beyond the realms of possibility, tbh.

                            Tubbs - print out the entirety of the Gove thread and personally flypost it everywhere in Britain for the next four years. You must do nothing else.

                              With "pound-shop House of Cards" and "Tory bald man comb fight" E10 and Benjm are neck and neck for the "best pithy putdown" BAFTA.

                                Thanks, Crusoe, although in an ideal world a trained veterinarian would step in on the putting down front for this crowd.

                                  "A First or Chief Minister of State, whom I intended to describe, was a creature wholly exempt from joy and grief, love and hatred, pity and anger; at least made use of no other passions but a violent desire of wealth, power, and titles; that he applies his words to all uses, except to the indication of his mind; that he never tells a truth, but with an intent that you should take it for a lie; nor a lie, but with a design that you should take it for a truth; that those he speaks worst of behind their backs are in the surest way to preferment; and whenever he begins to praise you to others or to yourself, you are from that day forlorn.

                                  The worst mark you can receive is a promise, especially when it is confirmed with an oath; after which every wise man retires, and gives over all hopes."

                                            Gove thread, page 1.

                                            First up, early in the coalition's administration, the balls-up over the cancellation of Building Schools for the Future, messing up the list of affected schools and ending up with legal challenges.

                                              Dominic Cummings and Sarah Vine will be effectively running this country.

                                              I think I'll take the cue and leave indeed....

                                                Pity Johnson didn't pull out on the trip wire.

                                                I've already had an invitation to join Bomber Ange and the Moderate Falange.

                                                  Is Gove taking one for the team in fact? Declaring only to fuck up Jonhson chances and making it easier for May to win the contest?

                                                  We know he has done what Murdoch and Dacre wanted and the Vine letter clearly indicates they do not see Johnson fit to be PM.

                                                    May has reminded her colleagues that politics isn't just a game, it affects people's lives. Presumably, she is referring to Johnson, in which case why didn't she say something before?
