Examining Michael Gove

Good to see the admission that "free" markets are utterly useless at delivering public services, and result instead in costly duplication while standards slip.

But that realisation, commonsensical to the point of self-evidence, is precisely why this latest wheeze will never actually happen.

Michael Gove is forever issuing grand "initiatives" with maximum publicity for himself. Nothing ever comes of any of them. But that is never the point. He has been in the papers and on the telly again. So the job is done.

And, like Boris Johnson, Gove is given a free pass because he is one of Fleet Street's own.
