GOVE DOUBLES DOWN ON NHS PLEDGE

In an amazing display of hubris Michael Gove (HERE) he claimed the £350m a week figure was robust and argued it could not yet be proved true or false because the UK had not yet left the EU. “The money is there and it’s for the government to decide how to spend it once we leave,” he said.

This is the man who has been claiming for months that all the economists (or rather the majority and especially those who argued remain) have been proved wrong. Note, not that their claims have yet to be proved true or false, but that they were wrong, full stop.  I cannot wait for the day he is confronted with all the lies and hypocrisy.  

Mr Gove is a dangerous simpleton. He looks as if he knows what he's talking about when patently he does not and this is what makes him dangerous. He now says his earlier remarks about experts were "unfairly quoted" and he been referring only to a “sub-class” of economists and pollsters.

“In the now notorious comment that I made..the point I made is not that all experts are wrong, that’s manifestly nonsense – expert engineers, expert doctors, expert physicists" are now it seems OK.
