Michael Gove Will Not Stand At The Election!

Brexiteer and Cabinet Minister under a number of Tory Prime Minister, Michael Gove, has decided to stand down at the election. This could be related to his slim majority and the possiblity that tactical voting will see him out, or that he doesn't want to face the embarrassment of a losing night. This will no doubt damage the party less than a week in the campaign.

NO ONE is allowed to help them, they have to spend the rest of their lives living on Tory-level benefits, worrying about it being removed and having to beg the neighbours for help.
