A government minister has appeared on state TV during the night to deny rumours of a coup.
“There is ah, well, absolutely, totally unfounded, any suggestion that I and my good colleague Boris are attempting a coup is completely unfounded,” the minister stated, although eyebrows were raised by his military fatigues.
In spite of the statement many seem to think it’s more likely he is on manoeuvres in alliance with Boris Johnson.
“It’s likely they’ve stitched up some stupid pact again,” LCD Views chief political correspondent, K. Luensberg mused.
“Boris is naive. He seems to think because Gove came off the worse for it last time they played the devil to each other’s Faust, that he’ll not try it again. Whereas Gove hasn’t had a human feeling since he was excessively potty shamed as an eight year old and is very ready to plunge the knife into Boris’ back all over again, using the scars of last time as guides.”
He’ll just try and push a little harder and a bit more frenzied this time.
“The plan is most likely to be to make Boris prime minister and Gove chancellor of the exchequer, only Gove will try and trip Boris up as he skips up the step into Downing Street with some muck Williamson gave him out of his black book when he was whip. Then Gove becomes PM and Williamson moves out of the defence ministry into Chancellor. Once there he can savagely beat Gove about the head politically and become prime minister. Everyone is planning short term in the country’s best interests.”
It’s not sure how the country will react to the government minister’s appearance.
“Most people will probably try and keep their heads down and wait it out. I doubt anyone will believe a word, after all, it is Michael Gove. An actual talking toerag would have more credibility.”
