I have just watched this on the iplayer, and very entertaining and informative it was. But it just underlines the stupidity of allowing Michael Gove back in the Cabinet. His behaviour in the Leadership election was appalling.

How can anyone ever trust him again ?

He played his part for the Tory party and helped get May in. Now the requisite time has passed and he was due back. And the wheels continue to turn behind the scenes.

At 75 minutes I may watch it at the start of the month when my data allowance is renewed, but most likely I'll await the synopsis.

I thought it informative and moderately entertaining. Might watch it again. Actor playing Boris great but the actors playing May and Leadsom were not at all convincing and rather put me off.

I heard Gove on R4 this morning. He's leaning heavily into his new job as farm hand.

He seems happy to put on whichever costume is handed to him.

Yep, Gove has all the qualities needed to be a highly succesful politician...

OG....can't you watch it on the iplayer, on your PC ?

It was a bit like watching a badly written and filmed version of The Thick of It.
A bunch of talentless, backstabbing losers more intent on getting a job for their own enrichment and ego massage than working for the good of the country.

Dougie....come on now...I expect it would nearly as bad if it happened in the Labour Party !

[Old_Geezer]

Sure can Mikey, when it's the start of the month and my data allowance is renewed, but most likely I'll await the synopsis.

Oh ...OK OG. I have forgotten you don't have universal access to the 'net !
