Michael Gove's wife exposes doubts about Boris Johnson with email blunder

Michael Gove’s wife has accidentally emailed a member of the public with worries about Boris Johnson’s popularity with the Tory membership and with media bosses Rupert Murdoch and Paul Dacre.

The email from Sarah Vine, a Daily Mail columnist, also contained advice to Gove not to guarantee his support for Johnson’s leadership bid without a specific job offer.


Vine gave an account of Gove’s referendum night in her Daily Mail column.............“By now his phone was buzzing and beeping like a demented frog. ‘You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off,’ I said … In other words, you’ve really torn it now.”

terrible shitflinging, falsehood shopping, and of course, The Big Orange Blowhard, himself.

I suppose misery does love company--looking at the nitwits over the pond, I don't feel so terrible. What a crew!
