Michael Gove says he is quitting frontline politics and won't return to government [View all]

Michael Gove has said he is quitting frontline politics, bringing an end to a varied Cabinet career.

The former Levelling-up Secretary used an op-ed in the Times newspaper to endorse Rishi Sunak for next prime minister and warned Liz Truss's plans for the country were a "holiday from reality".

"I make my case from my heart too. I do not expect to be in government again," Mr Gove wrote...

Mr Gove's ministerial career was brought to an abrupt end by Boris Johnson last month when he was summarily sacked during attempts to get the prime minister to leave office.
