Gove On Marr This Morning.....
28 Answers
I wasn't pleased about the Boris saga but he explained himself well, despite Marr doing his usual Noo Labour luvvie sniping. I'm starting to think I may transfer my support to him. Anyone else see the interview? Can someone train Marr on how to do political interviewing what a disaster he is.

Didn't think Boris was getting on with putting the team together and preparing for the job; put principles and county before friendship; etc.. Much what you'd expect him to say. He speaks well. I didn't think he answered the question regarding his claiming he wasn't up to the PM job sometime in the past. But he's one of few remaining leave believers left in the contest who might have the enthusiasm to perform the withdrawal negotiations properly rather than cave in and accept EU sans what little say a nation gets.

We must have been watching a different programme. The charge of stabbing his friends/rivals was not at all rebuffed. He said he had known Boris for 30 years, but only realised he wasn't Prime Minister material, the night before the deadline. Do you really buy that?

apologies, I misread the OP as saying you were transferring your support (back) to Boris.
Gove has always said he didn't want the job. I still think he doesn't want it. He just didn't want Cameron or Boris to have it either so he sabotaged both their careers. This is a public service but still not reason to have him as a PM.

I'm not surprised. Boris spent the first day playing golf and the second having a BBQ after cancelling a meeting with people who were going to discuss strategy, wrote an article n the telegraph where he backtracked, forgot to send a letter to Angela Leadson and hadn't written his nomination speech half an our before he was due to announce it. No on dear Gove was angry!!
// Johnson went to another social gathering, in Westminster, where he was expected to give that written job guarantee to Andrea Leadsom.
However, he had apparently left the letter in his Commons office.
Compounding this broken promise, the deadline passed when Boris said he would make public his pledge to Leadsom.
Understandably, Leadsom felt ‘snubbed’ and decided she was being ‘strung along’.
In a fit of pique, she then lodged her own nomination papers for the Tory leadership. //
Utter shambles.
