Boris V Gove - I Missed It!!

[Cmitchell]

So I missed the news 8 days ago and am still baffled about the whole Boris v Gove thing!!! Please can someone explain to me, in simple terms, How did Gove stab Boris in the back? And how come they both couldn't have stood for the leadership? Cheers Mitchell ;s

Gove was going to be Boris's campaign manager but decided he would go for the job himself.

Are you sitting comfortably ?

Gove had said repeatedly, and ad nauseum, that he didn't want the job, didn't have the skills needed for the job, and was completely incapable of doing the job.....ie.. he was the wrong chap for the job.

Boris on the other hand had said completely the opposite, ad nauseum !

On the evening of Wednesday 29th of June, they both attended a function, to celebrate BREXIT and were seen by a multitude appearing to be awfully friendly with each other....arms around shoulders, deep throat kissing, etc
( I made up the bit about the kissing )

In the meantime, Mrs Gove had sent an email warning her husband

" You MUST have SPECIFIC assurances from Boris OTHERWISE you cannot guarantee your support........Do not concede any ground. Be your stubborn best."

This email mysteriously got into the hands of a member of the public, who considered it their duty to leak it to every newspaper in the galaxy.

Gove suddenly retracted everything he had ever said ::

One....about Boris ( being nice)
Two....about his own unsuitability for the job in hand.

Later on that morning, Boris said that he didn't want the job after all, and withdrew from the contest ( whaa, whaa )

Gove then announced that Boris was a *** and that he himself would stand himself instead.

Just an everyday story of Westminster folk really !

Boris lost his bottle, and Gove bravely stepped up to the mark.
