Vital evidence of government decision making is being lost to the disappearing text. That could include evidence about Brexit, the Covid response, or a political crony lobbying for government contracts.

As I understand it, it was #MichaelGove ringing up @InquiryCSA asking for a friend about the investigation into Downside.
That friend being Somerset MP Jacob Rees Mogg who sent some of his brood there

āThere were two clear drop points. One of them was in May when we had the announcement of early easing of lockdown & the other one was when the news broke about #DominicCummingsā trip to Durham. And confidence never recovered.ā (H/T @theonlypeterkay)

Michael Gove just claimed on #Marr that the UK is doing more testing than any other country.
This is an easily disprovable lie of Trumpian proportions.
This was the situation yesterday.

And this is the situation that Michael Gove's shameless lie about testing was intended to disguise.
The UK is nowhere near having sufficient reliable data to be in a position to safely move out of lockdown.

Iām no fan of Lady Gove of Cocaygne or the Telletubby Macbeth, but the shock horror outrage at their bookshelf is a cheap shot imho. Having books by David Irving or Charles Murray does not āproveā you are a racist or a Nazi sympathiser. Itās a ridiculous line of attack.
I mean, I have bin Ladenās speeches and Sayid Qutb somewhere. Also early documents of the Red Brigades - a very rare collection. Doesnāt mean that Iām looking to become a jihadist or kneecap someone. When I was researching my history of terrorism it was even worse!
So using the Govesā bookshelf for a āgotchaā moment of moral indignation? Iāll pass thanks. That said, I canāt help noticing a lot of books about cruel little men who achieved absolute power in there, and given Goveās endless schemings, that may explain a lot...#MichaelGove
I suspect the new Environment Secretary, Theresa Villiers, will be more like Owen Paterson than Michael Gove.

If you'd told me a few years ago that I would one day regret the departure of #MichaelGove from a government ministry, I'd have thought you were off your rocker.
But yes, I regret it.
Against all predictions (mine included), he was the best Environment Sec we've had for decades

The obvious (and predicted) candidate for Environment Secretary was @ZacGoldsmith. The fact that he was passed over for someone without any of his credentials is a worrying sign. Is this going to be yet another evidence-free ministry?
Let's hope not.
