It was a very good speech, absolutely roasted Corbyn for the dhead that he is.
The look on his face when the camera cut to him during Gove’s speech was worth every minute of this mess. He was livid.

325/306, majority of 19. Not bad.

Is Michael Gove always this humorous?
He's fiercely bright, canny and witty. A bit like William Hague, but with a lot of added Machiavellian cunning, venom, and spite!

We could do a lot worse than have him as PM. He's a villain, but I think he's clever enough that his ego aligns the nation's benefit broadly with his measurement of personal success. (but not entirely!)

He runs rings round May as a parliamentary operator, IMO.

God almighty no. Another thread tainted by Gove love.

He would sell the country off for parts.

He also has a face of a clown.

So Theresa is safe for a couple of days - I assume we now wait for Plan B on Monday, which I guess will be Plan A plus some made up fluff?

There is a key difference between liking Gove and admiring a well delivered speech.

Gordon Brown gave a great speech on the importance of the Scottish union. I didn't like him as a politician but it was a masterpiece of oration. As was Robin Cook's resignation speech - or Geoffrey Howe's... or Hilary Benns on Syria.

Gove delivered a well timed, impactful and well executed speech. Rousing.

I've just watched the full thing.

He fking sliced and diced Corbyn there, loved the look on his face when the camera switched to him not sure there was much "gentler politics" going through his mind.

I feel sorry for Tom Watson, must be difficult to keep a straight face.

Surely to any parents of children in state school, Angela Rayner is as much a reason to not vote Labour as Corbyn and McDonnell are.

Can you imagine her setting policy? Jesus Christ.

Forgive my ignorance, but how does this work now? Can she be challenged again tomorrow? Next week? or is there some arbitrary criteria that need filling before it happens again?
