Has he been neutered, or at least sent on a media training boot camp?
I dislike his aggressive interviewee style, and so was pleasantly surprised at how deferential and polite he was to Mishel Husain this morning. He sounded almost human.

Generally find him sensible, perhaps the mainstream is moving towards his thinking?

He's always been very personable whenever I've met him, can be a bit of a firebrand when in the mood though ๐Ÿ˜‰

The way Brexit is eating the Tories alive he's our next Chancellor so get used to him either way.

I have no problem with his policies (well most of them), but the way he presents himself as the labour Rottweiler simply isn't effective IMHO - but maybe I'm not the target demographic

It sounded like his voice was giving out.

I was considering putting a little

[i]*unless Phillip 'Last adult in the room' Hammond gets back-stabbed in the next 3 months. [/i]

On the end of my last statement.

Question is whether or not May's government will last long enough for Gove to stick the knife in.

What a shower, I'm really not a fan of Corbyn but at least he seems to have some grown ups on his team (Take a bow Mr Starmer)

Gove, the most punchable face in politics.

At the most recent meeting, on Tuesday, Mr Gove again made a point of using โ€œlots of long, economicky wordsโ€, according to two people present.

sounds perfick for the job...

Maybe I haven't been listening to the right interviews but I've always found him to be a superb performer in interviews with a reassuring Ken Clark-esque cheerful and calm manner.

Policy and substance I'm less keen on...

Why do you think that's acceptable to say? Is it far in your mind from the death threats and rape calling the women MPs endure? It doesn't seem like it when you read it cold.

Just look at him.
He looks like a ****, acts like a **** and is going to cause myself and millions of others financial difficulties.
The very least he deserves is a good old English bunch of fives on the hooter.
Edit I have no wish to rape him.

The reason Gove has the most punchable face in politics because people are angry about him, a most self serving, backstabbing and deceitful little turd of a man. People are sick of the sight of the dribbling little bastard, we've had enough. Same with Boris.

I find him somewhat grating.

David Mellor? Edwina Currie? ๐Ÿ˜›

Gove is passionate, it's just his values & reasoning skills which are screwed up.
