I thought most politicians had a cheeky sniff before they go for PMQ’s.
Not even really news to me.
Politicians,lawyers,stock traders... they’re all at it.

yes it was a smear rather than him trying to be edgy, Boris's revenge I'm guessing

[joeysteele]

Well on a TV programme Boris indicated he likely had too.
Along with Rory's once as a guest at a function, Michael Gove, and now incredibly the awful Leadsom too plus Raab.

I'd not be surprised near all politicians have at some time.
It's ridiculous to hold things like this against anyone.

Shows an unbelievable intolerance, to me anyway, in this day and age.

[smudgie]

All the back stabbing coming out now.
Can’t stand Gove, but the fact he took drugs 20 years ago would make no difference to me.

[bots]

it's so obvious the knives are out, it's great

Gove surely could not have thought he would not get payback for what he did to Boris at the last leadership election.

As a tory supporter, I don't like a single one of the current candidates, and I didn't like May either, right from the start. I do believe the tory party is a spent force now, they are way passed the point of recovery. It's a sad state of affairs when my thoughts are turning toward the lib dems as the only option i could even consider voting for.

Gove was in full bullsheite mode on Marr .... The grovelling was impressive

He was a BBC Paid Journalist.

Way back in 1993

He has now been reported to the Police
to be Investigated for a Crime in 1993?

Just on LBC Radio.

Bit pointless; unless he was the kind of scumbag to push drugs on kids, what is there to achieve from investigating some historic casual drug use?

[Withano]

It is odd to see how all those who were outraged at Abbott having a cheeky mojito in public are suddenly fine with Gove’s possession and use of a class A drug.

Like people dont even try to be consistent.

I mean, I won't even sit here and pretend I am well versed on British politics, but I don't find this to be that big a deal. Especially because it was 20 years ago. There's a very large amount of people who have tried it or know someone who has. It's just not that important to know in my opinion.

Not him being known as a Cocaine Hypocrite

...so first the case against Boris ...and now this ‘reveal’...surely it’s all just well timed stuff to be knocked out of the leadership battle and possibly he knew it was going to be made public so decided to say first...

it was going to appear in a book with some newspaper features, so he had no choice

I don't like any of the candidates, but each one is better than Corbyn ... just that isn't saying much. At the end of the day democracy elected Trump with all his faults widely known, so I do wonder if things like this are actually a bad thing any more .... they get the publicity which seems more important than anything

...yeah I do agree there are slim pickings in politics atm sadly ...which is leading to he ‘anti establishment’, type vote...?...hence Trump, a significant part seemed to me to be that he wasn’t Hilary Clinton ...hmmmm, it’s an era of politics that worries me because it’s voting against rather than voting for.../..a negative vote and breeding a negative society...?...

Cut to what chase? Should he have started blubbing and apologising for doing drugs twenty years ago?

Is education and the planet not a tad more important than what he was snorting up his nose when he was younger?
