According to the Sunday
Times (paywall), David Cameron concluded during the run-up to the EU referendum
that the then Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor, Michael Gove was ‘mad’ and
‘behaving like a lunatic’. I’m not in a
position to judge – the fact that he sometimes looks a bit mad is far from
adequate grounds to draw any conclusion.
But Cameron appointed him to the job, and should have been in a better
position to make a judgement than I.
Mildly amusing
though it is to see Tories falling out amongst themselves, not just over policy
but in such a highly personal fashion as well, it surely raises as many
questions about Cameron as it does about Gove.
After all, if the Prime Minister had really come to the conclusion that
his Justice Secretary was as mad as a box of frogs, why on earth did he leave
him in charge of the Department of Justice? It doesn't look like the action of a responsible Prime Minister.
Perhaps Cameron
wasn’t preparing to sell an otherwise boring book back then…
