Brexit has a cost then? Glad we got that established.

Fury at Gove as exports to EU slashed by 68% since Brexit
Hauliers say Cabinet Office minister ignored warnings, amid fears that worse is to come with introduction of import checks in July

Gove's leadership ambitions won't be helped by this. Better to be Liz Truss.

Gove's leadership ambitions won't be helped by this. Better to be Liz Truss.

He can't claim we didn't warn him - the 'I don't accept that' pug faced wanker.

Only got to change one word, groovers. I've heard it done - in those far-off days of open pubs.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Gove's got a new phrase.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

The utter fucking arrogance of the cunt.

[The Red Arrow]

Just when you think there can't be a more repellant, disgusting, dishonest figure in British politics than whoever, up pops Gove to remind you that it's a team effort and they're all fighting for a place.

I mean, it's not like Sniffer to bollocks something up in a self-interested project, is it?

Michael Gove's free schools at 10: the most successful policy since the war – or a costly mistake?

A decade ago the first free schools opened with fanfare and a promise to transform England’s education system. But it hasn’t quite turned out that way

Per Tony Connelly of RTE, the UK might get a couple of short extensions on transitional stuff. I think that's the right thing to do.

Otherwise, we're stuck with what we signed.

Gove isn’t spinning (like Andrew Neil with his hilarious Spectator sales graphs) he’s a Trumpian fantasist and truth has no meaning.

Interesting article. So, to summarise:

It was a back door for education funds to be slipped to academy chains and "our mates".

It was an opportunity for a few of "our mates" to play at being Sir for a few days.

It was an opportunity to make sure they didn't have to mix with the smelly kids.

All of which we predicted from the start.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Makes me weep.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Hmm.

And what you gonna do about it then, eh?
