Cabinet minister makes light of mishap after being rescued after half an hour in lift at Broadcasting House
Michael Gove, the communities and levelling up secretary, made a slightly delayed appearance on Radio 4’s Today programme after being trapped in a BBC lift for about half an hour.
“We were hoping to talk to Michael Gove. You might have been hoping to hear from Michael Gove,” the presenter Nick Robinson told BBC listeners about five minutes after Gove’s interview had been due to begin at 8.10am.
