Michael Gove

Michael Gove has criticised the decision to move Lord Adonis from his post as Schools Minister.

Michael, the Shadow Children’s Secretary, said, "Everyone who believes in the integrity of the academies programme and the reform agenda in education will be disturbed to hear that Ed Balls has kicked Andrew Adonis out of the education department.”

He stressed that Lord Adonis’ removal showed that Mr. Brown’s latest reshuffle was about “rewarding cronies and not about governing in the national interest.”
