From earlier this week. Only just seen it on Youtube. Damn, who would have thought wee Gove was capable of that performance? Surely one of the best speeches in the house for a very long time. And all without a script. Tore everyone to shreds, especially Corbyn!
And likening Cable to Vicky Pollard! Yeah, but no, but yeah. Absolute classic!
Except that he (and Theresa May and the government generally) was trying to reach out to Labour and Corbyn for talks and cooperation on Brexit.
So Gove's speech was ill-judged and counter-productive. You can start to see why the teachers went off him -- the man will start a fight in a phone box rather than build alliances like normal politicians. Or why, in the last Tory leadership election, Gove only came third behind Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom of all people.
