In fact I’d argue Michael Gove was the most significant minister of modern times never to hold one of the great offices of state. A pity, I think he might have been a really notable Home Secretary. https://t.co/16XHTgwJ8x
Gove a genuinely important minister. Pro or anti you can’t deny he made a significant difference, at education especially.
I think Michael Gove will go down as one of the 10 or so most significant political figures since 1945. One of the ablest, too.
Michael Gove, who's standing down as an MP, was one of the most consequential ministers of modern times - for good and ill. My take:- https://t.co/Ak27JcHGLJ
Wow. Michael Gove isn’t standing again. Whatever you think of the man, the education reforms are among the best things the Conservatives did in government. Losing a man of great intellect and skill.
