Gove "ashamed" Of Cocaine Use
61 Answers
Major news topic. Sky's New Preview discussing it now.
I, as a young man, could - under pressure - give you a very long list of juvenile and older misdemeanours. (Most, but not all, would be matters of embarrassment, rather than "shame").
Gove should be repenting, not his occasional cocaine use, bu his moral cowardice in renouncing Brexit.

Danny - // Esther McVey has now admitted using cocaine. //
Either Ms. McVey is again getting ahead of any embarrassing revelations, or she wants to jump on the cachet of being part of the 'dangerous in their youth' set, and getting the votes of people who think that they want leaders who have been around a bit.

danny - // AH, There must be some nefarious reason for this sudden spate of admitting to being junkies. //
I believe the driving motive is the attention of the press - the closer any of them get to the top of the pile in the PM race, the harder and deeper the press look at them.
If you have a secret, it's far better to get your admission in first, because an admission can be spun as 'honesty' whereas a discovery by the press will always be a 'cover-up' and dishonesty is often death to a political career.
I am still cynical enough to think that there is a cachet to being seen as being a bit 'edgy', and let's face it, the Tories are hardly known for that are they?
If the Tories, and the nation want 'something that is not Teresa May' - this may be some of the candidates' method of announcing that they fit the bill.
Let's face it, fessing up to being partial to a bit of gak certainly beats running through a cornfield in your list of top ten naughty things to do!

This is bound to be a dirty contest; those who have put forwards their names are former colleagues/friends and will know much about each other.
The participants are seeking to spike their enemies guns by getting their confessions and their remorse onto the front pages on their own terms.
He or she who hesitates in doing so will find themselves pilloried by 'unnamed sources' soon enough.

jack, this particular story came out, it seems, because Gove admitted it himself, though in unusual circumstances

Didn't our trust in politicians/politics take a massive nosedive after the expenses scandal?
Should we really be surprised at all these revelations?
Whoever succeeds the Tory leadership still leaves the electorate with a major dilemma.
Who can we trust? Who do we even vote for?
A very poor state of affairs indeed...
