Re: @Loyal Commenter: Parliamentary negligence
"Mr Gove can't really have much involvement with 'making it happen', due to being not quite as clever as he thought he was"
So you're telling us that we've been manoeuvred into this position partly on account of the arguments of someone who's not as good as he thought he was. I'd rather we'd followed the advice of someone who was better than he thought he was.
"plus he's no longer a Minister of State"
This, I think, is a mistake. He should be set to work trying to make what he argued for work. If he isn't he'll try to blame failures on not being involved.
