DESPERATE David Cameron’s battle to remain Prime Minister took a bizarre twist yesterday as he made despised Michael Gove the face of the Tory general election campaign.
Amid a wide-ranging government reshuffle, dedicated teachers celebrated Mr Gove’s sacking as education secretary after being pushed to breaking point by his right-wing schools experiment.
Teacher Chloe Sheppard told the Teacher Roar online campaign that “there were cheers from everyone in the staff room” as news broke that Mr Gove had got the chop.
