Michael Gove, as a neocon, believes above all in the anti-democratic, amoral, global "free" market, which cannot be in goods, services and capital but not in labour, i.e., people.
Whereas David Davis, although less of a political thinker (for good or ill) and with some leanings towards the "free" market, is more of a conservative, believing that if there is a moral, social, cultural or political reason for the State to, as someone like Gove would have it, "skew" the market, then the State not only may, but must do so; and that keeping Britain Britain (including, if you want to put it like this, "British jobs for British workers") is just such a reason.
These two are in no meaningful sense members of the same party. Why do they remain so even nominally? Indeed, for how much longer will they be able to do so? The Tories (like the other two) are in their final generation. Will this issue be their eventual breaking point?
