FORMER Levelling Up minister Michael Gove doesn’t seem to be letting his sacking get to him as he was pictured dancing the night away whilst on holiday in Ibiza.
Gove was spotted at a bar in the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel – one of the popular tourist destination’s top dance venues.
The 55-year-old was sacked by Boris Johnson last month and, although the pair clearly had their differences, it seems that jetting off on holiday in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis is simply par for the Tory course.
The hotel’s owners claim guests are able to expect the very best in VIP treatment, with champagne oysters and caviar on offer whilst “surrounded by beautiful people” and “international celebrities”.
Frankly, The Jouker is just glad there was caviar on offer otherwise it’s hard to see how Gove would have coped following an otherwise embarrassing month.

As if the promise of extravagant food wasn’t enough, the bar encourages its guests to “get into the groove of those who break the rules”.
You couldn’t make it up.
If the Conservative Party was a house in Game of Thrones, “those who break the rules” would surely be its motto.
Gove of course said in an interview that it was “bonkeroony” (no The Jouker isn’t sure that’s a word either) for Johnson to resign over the lockdown parties.
Never mind that they took place whilst millions across the country were unable to see their loved ones due to the rules enforced by the Conservative Party themselves.
Gove is no stranger to a party. Last summer, he gave the nation a laugh when he was seen pulling some cringey moves at a nightclub in Aberdeen.
Following on from the Prime Minister’s holidays to Slovenia and Greece, this week’s out-of-touch Tory politician comes as the rest of us confront soaring household bills with an energy price cap expected to reach over £3500 by October 1.
But hey, at least Gove has the option of champagne and caviar.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
