Putting the horrific context to one side, the sight of the terminally smug Michael Gove’s apology to the Commons today was certainly an edifying one. But it won’t be the YouTube moment politicos will discuss at the water cooler tomorrow morning. Over to you, Tom Watson:
“He can embarrass himself; he can disgrace his party; but what is intolerable is that he has cynically raised the hopes of hundreds and thousands of families. You’re a miserable pipsqueak of a man, Gove!”
There was some build-up context to this covered elsewhere …
Suffice it to say you should always return Mr. Watson’s calls.

Quite funny, Gove handled that tirade like a true champ, must have bitten his lip.
Tom Watson is always on form.
