You know, the one thing that confuses me more than anything else about the last 4 months is why Michael Gove wasnt taken behind the shed and shot, figuratively or otherwise.

Gove is the only Tory frontbencher who can blag confidently. He may even have done a modicum of research. Every other Tory frontbencher equals Johnson in sheer bloody incompetence allied to expectation that people should listen to them anyway. Every competent Tory has been dropped, and a fair few of them will no longer stand.

As a political actor I wouldnt want him anywhere near actual power or influence after being the jackass to give us the maybot for three years, Boris himself I would think would be extra wary of him.

As a person, I dunno, dont know much outside of his political context.

Do you prefer your politicians sound or competent?

I dont think he is either, I am left ever wondering what madness drove his actions in the leadership election.

I'm not saying he's any good. I'm saying that, among the Tory frontbench, he's the only one who can pretend to be good at what he does. All the others, the PM included, are so clearly incompetent that it's staggering how they've managed to get these posts.
