Michael Gove
If we leave the European Union, yes there will be bumps in the road, inevitably, but we will be in a better position to deal with them.
Michael Gove
I'll negotiate with toughness, and with great attention to detail to get the best possible deal for Britain. It's only when we are outside the European Union that we can at last bring those numbers [of migrants] under control in the way that the public want.
Michael Gove
I have come, reluctantly, to the conclusion that Boris [Johnson] cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead.
Michael Gove
If we are to make the most of the opportunities ahead we need a bold break with the past.
Michael Gove
