Blair was known as "Miranda" in his youth. (Which youth was he in? Boom, Boom.) I remember Gove speaking at Durham
many years ago, and he was noticeably camp even by the standards of his hosts.
He used to share a flat with Ivan
Massow and Nick Boles, before The Times conveniently supplied the
fragrant Sarah Vine, assisting his political progress no end. And look at the
forces protecting him now.
Gove is also an outspoken admirer of Blair and of Blair's veteran Trotskyist bagmen, Alan Milburn and Stephen
Byers.
Fresh out of Oxford, Gove applied for
a job with the Conservative Research Department. But it turned him down, being
unable to find any evidence that he was a Conservative, or even political at
all.
So he joined The Times instead. Again, though, look at him now.
And still having
frequent, off-the-record meetings with Rupert Murdoch. When not throwing a
wobbly at those of his nominal partisans who had voted with Labour in order to
prevent a war against Syria.
That night, he had to be led away by the Whips. Having been sacked as Education Secretary, he has since been made Chief Whip.
He is the worst Chief Whip in a quarter of a century. But it doesn't matter. Other forces are in play. And at play.
