Minister stresses Johnson’s ‘significant contributions’ as Tories seek to move on from ex-PM’s resignation
Michael Gove has said that “life moves on” after Boris Johnson’s resignation as an MP, as ministers tried once again to shift attention from an embittered former leader showing little sign of wanting to leave parliament quietly.
Gove, the UK communities and housing secretary, used a morning broadcast round to stress what he said were the “significant contributions that Boris made”, while firmly presenting him as a figure now in the Conservatives’ past.
