Michael Gove#Personal life

Gove was born Graeme Andrew Logan on 26 August 1967.{{Sfn|Devlin|2019}}{{Sfn|Blanchard|2019}} His biological mother, whom he originally understood to have been an unmarried Edinburgh student, was in fact a 23-year-old cookery demonstrator.{{Sfn|Devlin|2019}} Gove regarded Edinburgh as his birthplace until it was revealed in a biography in 2019 that he was born in a maternity hospital in Fonthill Road, Aberdeen.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=1}} Logan was put into care soon after he was born.

At the age of four months he was adopted by a couple in Aberdeen, Ernest and Christine Gove, by whom he was brought up.{{Sfn|Johnson|2010}} After he joined the Gove family, Logan's name was changed to Michael Andrew Gove.{{Sfn|Devlin|2019}} His adoptive father, Ernest, operated EE Gove and Sons,{{Sfn|Carrell|2016}} a fish processing business at Aberdeen Harbour in Torry.{{sfn|Petrie|2025}}{{sfn|Merson|2025}} Established by Ernest's father,{{Sfn|"Michael Gove 'Respects' Nigel Farage.

Gove, his parents, and his adoptive sister Angela Christine lived in a small property in the Kittybrewster area of Aberdeen,{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=7}} before relocating to Rosehill Drive. He was educated at two state schools (Sunnybank Primary School and Kittybrewster Primary School),{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=8}} and later, on the recommendation of his primary school teacher,{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=9}} he sat and passed the entrance exam for the independent Robert Gordon's College.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=10}} In October 2012, he wrote an apology letter to his former French teacher for misbehaving in class.{{Sfn|"Gove apologises to his former French teacher". BBC News}}

Gove joined the Labour Party in 1983{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=14}} and campaigned on behalf of the party for the 1983 general election.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=15}} Outside of school, he spent time as a Sunday school teacher at Causewayend Church.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=15}} As he entered sixth year he had to apply for a scholarship as his family fell on difficult economic circumstances.{{Sfn|Johnson|2010}} He passed the scholarship exam and served as a school prefect in his final two years.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=16}}

After university, when applying for a job at the Conservative Research Department, Gove was told he was "insufficiently political" and "insufficiently Conservative", so he turned to journalism.{{Sfn|Burkeman|2005}}{{sfn|"Michael Gove criticised over racist and homophobic language in student speeches". BBC News}} He first found employment on the Peterborough column of The Daily Telegraph, after passing an interview with Max Hastings.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=43}} Struggling to maintain his career in London,{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=44}} he moved back to Aberdeen and became a trainee reporter at The Press and Journal, where he spent several months on strike in the 1989–1990 dispute over union recognition and representation.{{Sfn|Dorman|2010}} From 1990 to 1991,{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=49}}{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=54}} he worked as a reporter for Scottish Television, with a brief interlude at Grampian Television in Aberdeen.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=53}}

Gove co-founded Policy Exchange,{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=165}} a conservative think tank launched in 2002,{{Sfn|"Michael Gove".

The Telegraph}}

Over a five-month period between December 2005 and April 2006, Gove claimed more than £7,000 on a house bought with his wife Sarah Vine, in 2002. Around a third of the money was spent at OKA, an upmarket interior design company established by Annabel Astor, David Cameron's mother-in-law.{{sfn|Hope|2009}} Shortly afterwards he reportedly 'flipped' his designated second home, a property for which he claimed around £13,000 to cover stamp duty.{{sfn|Hope|2009}} Gove also claimed for a cot mattress, despite children's items being banned under updated Commons rules. Gove said he would repay the claim for the cot mattress, but maintained that his other claims were "below the acceptable threshold costs for furniture" and that moving house was necessary "to effectively discharge my parliamentary duties".{{sfn|Hope|2009}} While he was moving between homes, on one occasion he stayed at the Pennyhill Park Hotel in Bagshot, Surrey, following a constituency engagement, charging the taxpayer more than £500 per night's stay.{{sfn|Hope|2009}}

{{main|Michael Gove as Education Secretary}}

With the formation of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government following the hung parliament after the 2010 general election, Gove became Secretary of State for Education. His first moves included reorganising his department,{{Sfn|"Department for Education returns in coalition rebrand". BBC News}} announcing plans to allow schools rated as Outstanding by Ofsted to become academies,{{Sfn|Harrison|2010}} and cutting the previous government's school-building programme.{{Sfn|Richardson|2010}} He apologised, however, when the list of terminated school-building projects he had released was found to be inaccurate; the list was reannounced several times before it was finally accurately published.{{Sfn|"Gove apologises over school building list errors". BBC News}}

In July 2010, Gove said that Labour had failed in their attempt to break the link between social class and school achievement despite spending billions of pounds: quoting research, he indicated that by the age of six years, children of low ability from affluent homes were still out-performing brighter children from poorer backgrounds. At a House of Commons Education Select Committee he said that this separation of achievement grew larger throughout pupils' school careers, stating, "In effect, rich thick kids do better than poor clever children when they arrive at school [and] the situation as they go through gets worse".{{Sfn|Paton|2010a}}

Gove's second home was not in his constituency, but in Elstead, in the South West Surrey constituency. Gove sold the house and began to commute to his constituency.{{Sfn|Wright|2010}}

During the 2010 Conservative Party Conference, Gove announced that the primary and secondary-school national curricula for England would be restructured, and that study of authors such as Byron, Keats, Austen, Dickens and Hardy would be reinstated in English lessons as part of a plan to improve children's grasp of English literature and language. Academies were not required to follow the national curriculum, and so weren't affected by the reforms. Children who failed to write coherently and grammatically, or who were weak in spelling, were penalised in the new examinations. Standards in mathematics and science were also strengthened.{{Sfn|Paton|2010b}} Gove won the "Minister of the Year" award at the 2011 Spectator awards.{{Sfn|"Dods Parliamentary Companion 2013". Dods Group}}

In March 2011, Gove was criticised for not understanding the importance of school architecture and accused of having misrepresented the cost. In February 2011, he had told Parliament that one individual had made £1,000,000 in one year when the true figure was £700,000 for five advisers at different times over a four-year period.{{Sfn|Moore|2011}}

During the Cameron–Clegg ministry, Gove was the subject of repeated criticism for alleged attempts to avoid the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. The criticism surrounded Gove's use of various private email accounts to send emails that allegedly related to his departmental responsibilities. The allegations suggested that Gove and his advisers believed they could avoid their correspondence being subject to freedom of information requests, as they believed that their private email accounts were not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. In September 2011, the Financial Times reported that Gove had used an undisclosed private email account—called "Mrs Blurt"—to discuss government business with advisers.{{Sfn|Ensor|2011}}{{Sfn|Vasagar|2012b}} In March 2012 the Information Commissioner ruled that because emails the Financial Times had requested contained public information they could be the subject of a freedom of information request and ordered the information requested by the paper to be disclosed.{{Sfn|Smith|2012}}{{Sfn|"Michael Gove loses 'private email' battle". BBC News}} It was also alleged by the Financial Times that Gove and his advisors had destroyed email correspondence in order to avoid freedom of information requests. The allegation was denied by Gove's department, which stated that deleting email was simply part of good computer housekeeping.{{Sfn|Henry|2012}}{{Sfn|Cook|2012}}

In June 2012, Michael Portillo backed Gove to be a serious contender in a future race for the Conservative Party leadership,{{Sfn|"Portillo: Gove 'serious candidate' as Tory leader". BBC News}} though Gove had said in an interview a few months before that "I'm constitutionally incapable of it. There's a special extra quality you need that is indefinable, and I know I don't have it. There's an equanimity, an impermeability and a courage that you need. There are some things in life you know it's better not to try."{{Sfn|Martin|2012}}

Gove was criticised by teachers unions for his attempts to overhaul English education.{{Sfn|"Michael Gove signals end for specialist schools". Evening Standard}}{{Sfn|"Michael Gove speaks about the importance of teaching". gov.uk}} At the Association of Teachers and Lecturers Annual Conference in March 2013 a motion of no-confidence in Gove was passed.{{Sfn|"Teachers Pass No Confidence Vote In Gove".

BBC News}}{{Sfn|Shepherd|2013}}

On 15 July 2014, Gove's four-year stint in charge of the Department for Education came to an end when he was dismissed{{Sfn|"British PM Cameron sacks ally Gove, promotes women to cabinet". Reuters}} as Secretary of State for Education and replaced by former Treasury Minister Nicky Morgan in a wide-ranging cabinet reshuffle. Gove was moved to the post of Government chief whip,{{Sfn|"Michael Gove moved to chief whip in cabinet reshuffle". BBC News}} which was portrayed as a demotion by his detractors; Prime Minister Cameron denied this was the case.{{Sfn|"Michael Gove move not a demotion, says David Cameron". BBC News}} Gove told BBC News that he had mixed emotions about starting the new role, saying it was a privilege to become Chief Whip but that leaving the Department for Education was "a wrench".{{Sfn|"Michael Gove: 'It's a wrench but a privilege changing job'". BBC News}}{{Sfn|"Michael Gove moved to chief whip in cabinet reshuffle". BBC News}}{{Sfn|Watt|Wintour|2014}}

The position came with a £30,000 pay cut, and a specific media role saw Gove on television and radio "more than a traditional Chief Whip would be".{{Sfn|Graham|2014}} He missed his first House of Commons vote in the new role, as explained by Shadow Commons Leader Angela Eagle; "Gove not only lost his first vote but managed to get stuck in the toilet in the wrong lobby".{{Sfn|Withnall|2014}} Gove remained in the post of chief whip until May 2015, when the role was taken over by Mark Harper.

At the 2015 general election, Gove was again re-elected, increasing his majority to 24,804 and increasing his vote share to 59.9%.{{cite web |title=Election Data 2015 |url=http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2015.txt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017112223/http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2015.txt |archive-date=17 October 2015 |access-date=17 October 2015 |publisher=Electoral Calculus}} Following the election, Cameron promoted Gove as Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor in his newly formed Cabinet.{{Sfn|"Michael Gove moves to justice in post-election reshuffle". BBC News}} He was praised in December 2015 for scrapping the courts fee introduced by his predecessor, Chris Grayling.{{Sfn|Dugan|Wright|2015}} The fee had been heavily criticised for, among other things, causing innocent people to plead guilty out of financial concerns.{{Sfn|Cooper|2015}} Gove removed the 12-book limit on prison books introduced by Grayling, arguing that books increased literacy and numeracy, skills needed for making prisoners a "potential asset to society". The move, effective from September 2015, was welcomed by Frances Cook of the Howard League for Penal Reform.{{Sfn|"Prisoner book restrictions scrapped by Michael Gove". BBC News}} Gove was also praised for his prominent role in scrapping a British bid for a Saudi prison contract.{{Sfn|Watt|Travis|2015}}

Within three months of his taking office, the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) voted to stop taking new work in protest at Gove's insistence that they work for lower fees.{{Sfn|Bowcott|2015}} The CBA subsequently praised his "courage" in reversing the proposed cuts.{{Sfn|Barrett|2016}} On 14 July 2016 Gove was removed from the position of justice secretary by the new prime minister, Theresa May.{{Sfn|"Theresa May's cabinet: Who's in and who's out?".

Gove was a prominent figure in the campaign for Britain to leave the EU in the 2016 referendum and described his decision to take that side as "the most difficult decision of my political life".{{Sfn|"'Brexit' Campaign Leaders". The Wall Street Journal}}{{Sfn|"UK 'better off' out of EU – Michael Gove". BBC News}}{{Sfn|Apps|2016}} He and his family spent Christmas with the Camerons at Chequers where, according to Craig Oliver, Cameron was under the impression that Gove would support remaining in the EU.{{sfn|Oliver|2016|p=52}} Despite this, Gove decided to support the Leave campaign. At the beginning of March 2016, he was appointed co-convenor of Vote Leave, with Labour MP Gisela Stuart, and given responsibility for chairing the campaign committee.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=326}}

He argued Britain would be "freer, fairer and better off" for leaving,{{Sfn|"UK 'better off' out of EU – Michael Gove". BBC News}} and that "[t]he day after we vote to leave, we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want."{{Sfn|Sommerlad|2019}} When in an interview it was claimed that there was no expert opinion to support this, Gove remarked that "the people of this country have had enough of experts from organisations with acronyms saying they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong."{{Sfn|Lowe|2016}} However, interviewer Faisal Islam interrupted Gove after the word "experts",{{Sfn|Sparrow|2016}} causing some sources to report that he had made a general statement that "the people... have had enough of experts".{{Sfn|"Britain has had enough of experts, says Gove". Financial Times}} In 2021, Louise Richardson, the vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford, said she was "embarrassed" that Gove was an alumnus, on account of these comments.{{Sfn|Hancock|2021}}

In his memoir For the Record, Cameron described Gove during this period as "mendacious", adding: "One quality shone through, disloyalty. Disloyalty to me and, later, disloyalty to Boris [Johnson]".{{Sfn|Davies|2019}}

After Cameron announced his intention to resign as prime minister, Gove was not a candidate, having said in the past that he had no interest in becoming prime minister.{{Sfn|Dominiczak|2016a}} Instead, he was seen as a strong, highly influential supporter of Johnson for that role. In a move that surprised most political analysts, Gove withdrew his support for Johnson on 30 June 2016, hours before the deadline, without any previous notice to Johnson and announced his own candidacy in the leadership election. Subsequently, Johnson declined to run.{{Sfn|"Boris Johnson rules himself out of Conservative leader race". BBC News}}

The Telegraph wrote in an opinion piece that Gove's actions in undermining Johnson's leadership aspirations constituted "the most spectacular political assassination in a generation"{{Sfn|Swinford|Hope|Dominiczak|2016}} while The Guardian labelled it as a "Machiavellian move".{{Sfn|Mason|Stewart|2016}}

Gove said: "I wanted to help build a team behind Boris Johnson so that a politician who argued for leaving the European Union could lead us to a better future. But I have come, reluctantly, to the conclusion that Boris cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead. I have, therefore, decided to put my name forward for the leadership. I want there to be an open and positive debate about the path the country will now take. Whatever the verdict of that debate I will respect it. In the next few days I will lay out my plan for the United Kingdom which I hope can provide unity and change."{{Sfn|Cowburn|2016a}}

By 5 July 2016, Gove was in third place in the leadership election, behind May and Andrea Leadsom; the latter had gained an endorsement from Johnson. Some political analysts predicted that Gove might quit the race if he was unable to beat Leadsom in the first round of voting.{{Sfn|Wilkinson|2016}} Later that day, it was announced that May had won the first round of voting, with support from 165 MPs, while Andrea Leadsom received 66 votes and Gove trailed with 48.{{Sfn|"Tory leadership: Theresa May tops first vote but Fox and Crabb out". BBC News}} Gove was eliminated in the second ballot after receiving 46 votes, compared to 199 for May and 84 for Leadsom.{{Sfn|"Michael Gove knocked out of Conservative leadership ballot". BBC News}} He subsequently told the media that he was "naturally disappointed" and described his two opponents as "formidable politicians", welcoming the fact that the next prime minister would be female. He also encouraged a "civilised, inclusive, positive and optimistic debate".{{Sfn|"Theresa May v Andrea Leadsom to be next prime minister". BBC News}}

On 14 July 2016, Gove was dismissed by the prime minister, Theresa May. According to Jon Craig of Sky News, Gove was told to "go and learn about loyalty on the backbenches" in a two-minute meeting with May.{{Sfn|Craig|2016}}

In the aftermath of the EU referendum, Gove was accused by Nick Clegg of being the source of a claim by The Sun that Queen Elizabeth II made comments supportive of Brexit in a private lunch at Windsor Castle. Clegg told a BBC documentary that Gove "obviously communicated it – well, I know he did".{{Sfn|"Nick Clegg: Michael Gove behind Queen backs Brexit story".

In October 2016, Gove was elected to the Exiting the European Union Select Committee.{{Sfn|Craig|2016}} That month, he was re-hired by The Times{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=353}} as a weekly{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=354}} columnist and book reviewer.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=353}} As well as attending meetings of the newspaper's politics team, Gove was dispatched to the United States{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=354}} to report on campaign rallies in the upcoming presidential election.{{sfn|Bennett|2019a|p=355}}

In December 2016, Gove defended a Vote Leave claim that an additional £350 million a week could be spent on the NHS when Britain left the EU. Gove said the figure was robust and it was up to the Government to decide how to spend it.{{Sfn|Mason|2016}}

In his capacity as a writer for The Times, Gove gave the first British post-election interview to Donald Trump in January 2017, along with Kai Diekmann from Bild,{{Sfn|Gove|2017}}{{Sfn|Stewart|2017}} making him the second British politician to meet Trump as President-elect of the United States after Nigel Farage.{{Sfn|Sharman|2017}} Despite preferring Hillary Clinton to Trump as President of the United States,{{Sfn|"Newsnight, 16/01/2017".

At the snap 2017 general election, Gove was again re-elected, increasing his majority to 24,943 and increasing his vote share to 64.2%.{{Sfn|"Loony Party Candidates". The Official Monster Raving Loony Party}} Following the election, Gove was promoted to Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs by May during a reshuffle.{{Sfn|Roberts|2017}} Gove said he "was quite surprised" to be asked to join the Cabinet after May dismissed him in 2016 after she became prime minister.{{Sfn|Elgot|2017}}

Following his appointment, Gove announced that a microbead ban would be put into place by the end of 2017. However, the ban arrived in early 2018. It meant that manufacturers could no longer produce the tiny beads used in cosmetics and care products. Another ban came in June 2018 which stopped shops from selling products that contained the beads. The reasoning behind the ban was to stop the beads harming marine life.{{Sfn|"World leading microbeads ban comes into force". gov.uk}}

In July 2017, Gove announced that a fuel combustion vehicle ban will be put into place due to air pollution. He said that the ban would take effect by 2040 and end the sales of new fuel combustion cars, trucks, vans, and buses that have petrol and diesel engines in the UK. The ban does not include plug-in hybrid vehicles.{{Sfn|MacLellan|Faulconbridge|2017}}

Gove introduced a ban on bee-harming pesticides like neonicotinoids.{{Sfn|Carrington|2017}} He was praised by Greenpeace UK executive director John Sauven for his strong stance on issues like bee-harming pesticides, single-use plastic and the future of the internal combustion engine", adding "Gove has defied many people's expectations on the environment".{{Sfn|Asthana|2017}}

He later apologised and clarified that what he had said was not the case.{{Sfn|Braddick|2020}} When Johnson was self-isolating after having been tested positive for COVID-19, Gove stood in for Johnson briefly from 27 March 2020 at the daily briefings of the pandemic,{{Sfn|"Coronavirus: Prime Minister Boris Johnson tests positive".

In May 2020, Gove was criticised{{Sfn|Singh|2020}} after his wife Sarah Vine shared a bookcase picture "as a very special treat for my trolls" which featured a book by the Holocaust denier David Irving, and a copy of The Bell Curve, which controversially claims that intelligence is highly heritable and that median IQ varies among races.{{Sfn|Singh|2020}}{{Sfn|Zorzut|2020}} Another book in the photograph was The Strange Death of Europe by Douglas Murray, which, according to The Guardian, cites Enoch Powell and argues for protecting white Christian Europe from "outsiders".{{Sfn|Hinsliff|2017}}

After Johnson said that the UK had ended trade talks with the EU in October 2020, Gove said that the door was "still ajar" if the EU made changes over issues including fishing access and that "We hope the EU will change their position and we are certainly not saying if they do change their position we can't talk to them".{{Sfn|"Brexit: Door 'still ajar' for EU trade talks, says Gove".

{{Conservatism UK|Politicians}}

Gove is generally considered as combining socially liberal views—for example, on gay marriage{{Sfn|Duffy|2016}}—with a harder Eurosceptic and neoconservative position on foreign affairs.{{Sfn|Parker|Warrell|2014}} He has expressed his view that the state should generally not interfere in domestic affairs and has campaigned for economic freedom in certain matters. Gove has argued that "the only sustainable ethical foundation for society is a belief in the innate worth and dignity of every individual."{{Sfn|McSmith|2008}}

In remarks prepared for the 2020 Ditchley Lecture, Gove portrayed what he saw as the malaise of modern society as leading to populism, because the non-intellectual classes "chose to opt for polarised identity politics rather than stay with broad-based national political movements" instead of choosing to follow the politics of diversity, inclusion and identity politics they were force-fed by the elites. He praised Franklin D. Roosevelt as a model for his renewal of capitalism and he imagined the construction of inclusive societies with the deconstruction of Whitehall. Gove stressed "basic writing, meeting chairing and time management skills" for all policy civil servants. He ended with a paean to his purpose in public service: "to tackle inequality".{{Sfn|Gove|2020}}{{Sfn|Speer|2020}}

Gove has described himself as "a proud Zionist",{{Sfn|Elgot|2011}} and supports the United Jewish Israel Appeal's fundraising activities.{{Sfn|"Michael Gove helps to raise £2.8m for UJIA projects".
