Michael Gove says he is quitting frontline politics and won't return to government

[LeftishBrit]

Michael Gove has said he is quitting frontline politics, bringing an end to a varied Cabinet career.

The former Levelling-up Secretary used an op-ed in the Times newspaper to endorse Rishi Sunak for next prime minister and warned Liz Truss's plans for the country were a "holiday from reality".

"I make my case from my heart too. I do not expect to be in government again," Mr Gove wrote...

Mr Gove's ministerial career was brought to an abrupt end by Boris Johnson last month when he was summarily sacked during attempts to get the prime minister to leave office.

3. As you would expect...

... there's been a lot of fawning over Gove from right wing quarters. However, his track record in Government is very poor IMHO.

Like his boss Johnson, Gove is testament to my theory that newspaper columnists (who make their living telling everyone else how things should be run) are the absolute worst people you can put in charge of running anything.
