    No one told him his advisors have gone and his department paid of bullying claims

    Maybe he's been wandering round saying where are my advisors has anyone seen them?

    Didn't he notice his advisors were't turning up for work

    Sounds like BS to me

    Honestly I have no idea what Gove does he doesn't know his advisors are gone, was on the news last night his policy is a mess

    What exactly does he do? maybe put him on tea duty

    I imagine he spends most of his day playing Angry Birds on his free iPad.

    How much longer are these findings of dodgy behaviour by Gove's SpAds going to go on before either Gove gets a grip of them or Dave gets a grip on Gove?

    And what about ministers being accountable for their spads behaviour and hiring

    I know. Either he is lying or incompetent.

    From your own article.
    But permanent secretary, Chris Wormald, said it was "standard practice" not to inform ministers about such cases.

    Private Eye has been reporting the doings of Gove's 'advisers' for quite some time now..

    Yesterdays interrogation by the four Labour MP's was deliciously embarrassing - for them, not Gove. This was a priceless moment...
    An email from special adviser Dominic Cummings suggesting a journalist suffered from mental health problems may well have breached rules on negative briefings.

    It was down to Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson to raise the issue, but he gave Gove room to escape by claiming that Indy hack Richard Garner was a Whitehall staffer. The exchange was excruciating:

    Gove: That was not an email which was sent to a permanent civil servant
    Esterson: Yes it was
    Gove: Who?
    Esterson: It was sent to a member of staff, Richard Garner
    Gove: Richard Garner is the education editor of the Independent, not a permanent civil servant
