i think it funny that the media go hounding after politicans, or others, for a bit of recreational drugs when its so common in their industry. journalist know Gove had dabbled because they were doing it with him.

Hounding, the headlines are less ferocious than when Abbott had a M&S Mojito can on the tube!

You can see the hypocrisy though, tough laws on drugs from the conservatives, many convictions for class A possession and use, prisons full of people, and yet our politicians are okay because it was when they were young. Gove was 30 by the way, that isn't young by anyones measure.

And Johnson said he didn't actually take it because he sneezed at the last minute - what an utter prick.

Today I have been mostly concentrating on Esther McVey.
No thanks.
Scouse motormouth who is living in cloud Cuckoo land and making promises that will be very difficult or impossible to enact.
Also a liar.
Next!

Marr skewered Gove with a question on what he put on his ESTA form to go to the USA ? As there is a question about taking drugs and Gove wouldn't give a yes or no answer despite repeat requests. With all the leaks coming out will be interested if that is leaked and Gove can't go to the USA anymore let alone become PM

You forgot the bits about sacking any cabinet members who voted remain, so the majority, and also being quite willing to suspend parliament to drive through a no-deal Brexit. That's sure to bring the country together. Jesus wept, what depths we are plumbing if people like this are genuine candidates to lead this country

How come they are all saying things to make themselves electable like changing VAT, spending more money by reducing foreign aid and giving it to schools and police, slowing down debt interest payments to give more to education and forcing through brexit (even with a no deal !!!!!!)
But not one, as far as I know, has mentioned what they are going to spend all that £350 million a week we are going to get.
That is a hell of a lot of bread, surely the next prime minister will get the goose that layed the golden egg, I would be shouting from the rooftop what I am going to do with all that new money.

Or maybe not.

Boris this morning pledging to raise the 40% tax threshold from £50k to £80k per year.

What an absolute **** that man is. Our NHS is in crisis, social care in meltdown, schools having to beg to parents to raise money for materials and yet Boris thinks what this country needs is a tax break for the wealthy that will cost £10 billion a year!

Is it just me or is the fact that an MP's salary is currently £79,500 a year make his promise slightly suspect when he needs his own MP's support to get him to the membership ballot?

This will go down very very well with Conservative Party members. Low taxation for the wealthy is usually the most important issue for any Tory. He’ll smash it if he gets to the final two.

Then it just goes to prove what an out of touch bunch of selfish old duffers they are then.
I am not with any party now, but my god I hate the Tories especially Boris Johnson, why on earth do people support this total prat, can't they see right through him for what he is, like I can.
