So, Michael Gove is a drug addict! I wonder if it will get as much coverage as Jeremy Corbyn's status as as terrorist, fascist, traitor, Nazi, Communist and anti-Semite?
May I gently suggest there is a bit of exaggeration here?
No one has said that Michael Gove
is a 'drug addict'. No one to my knowledge has said that Jeremy Corbyn
is a 'terrorist'.
Didn't George Osborne have a similar problem? I seem to remember a photo of him in compromising circumstances, but I think this 'emerged' when he was well established, not putting himself up for office. He seems to have survived it all.
As for coverage - the media are 'speaking of little else ' today, and I think it will continue for the rest of the leadership campaign. I'd say it's over for his challenge, which pleases me as I can't stand him. I've read elsewhere that if he answers the questions truthfully, and surely he will,
for (like Brutus), he is an honourable man, this episode will prevent him getting a visa to travel to the USA.
