Michael Gove interview leaves lawyer ‘raging with anger’

A new interview with Michael Gove has left lawyer Peter Stefanovic ‘rage with anger.’

Gove was speaking to Sky News about the government’s new strike legislation.

He said the legislation was to ensure a minimum level of staffing, if strikes were planned and blamed other parties for not backing the new laws.

Levelling down?

It comes as Gove has denied that the south-east is getting an unfair proportion of money aimed at tackling inequality in the UK.

This morning Michael Gove repeatedly denied that the latest announcement of £2.1bn for 100 projects was a tilt away from funding the north of England.

What angered Peter so much is the threat of sacking staff if they don’t follow these new laws.

Peter shared his new vide and wrote: “This interview made me rage with anger. This Government really is an absolute piece of crap. Just watch it and stand with our nurses and workers taking strike action across the country.”

Peter then added: “I’m not sure how much more of this my blood pressure can take. I’m still raging and it’s only mid January. This Government is an absolute piece of crap.”

20% cut in firefighter posts since 2010. Minimum safety numbers didn’t seem to matter then.

Please keep going Peter, this is the worst government this country has ever had and we need people like you. The MSM @skynews, @itvnews etc… and the BBC @BBCNews have been fucking disgrace not holding them to account.
