Michael Gove spotted partying in Ibiza as cost of living crisis deepens

Michael Gove was spotted dancing whilst on holiday in Ibiza

FORMER Levelling Up minister Michael Gove doesn’t seem to be letting his sacking get to him as he was pictured dancing the night away whilst on holiday in Ibiza. 

Gove was spotted at a bar in the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel – one of the popular tourist destination’s top dance venues.

The 55-year-old was sacked by Boris Johnson last month and, although the pair clearly had their differences, it seems that jetting off on holiday in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis is simply par for the Tory course. 

The hotel’s owners claim guests are able to expect the very best in VIP treatment, with champagne oysters and caviar on offer whilst “surrounded by beautiful people” and “international celebrities”. 

Frankly, The Jouker is just glad there was caviar on offer otherwise it’s hard to see how Gove would have coped following an otherwise embarrassing month.  

As if the promise of extravagant food wasn’t enough, the bar encourages its guests to “get into the groove of those who break the rules”.

You couldn’t make it up. 

If the Conservative Party was a house in Game of Thrones, “those who break the rules” would surely be its motto. 

Gove of course said in an interview that it was “bonkeroony” (no The Jouker isn’t sure that’s a word either) for Johnson to resign over the lockdown parties.

Never mind that they took place whilst millions across the country were unable to see their loved ones due to the rules enforced by the Conservative Party themselves. 

Gove was spotted dancing last year at a nightclub in Aberdeen

Gove is no stranger to a party. Last summer, he gave the nation a laugh when he was seen pulling some cringey moves at a nightclub in Aberdeen. 

Following on from the Prime Minister’s holidays to Slovenia and Greece, this week’s out-of-touch Tory politician comes as the rest of us confront soaring household bills with an energy price cap expected to reach over £3500 by October 1. 

But hey, at least Gove has the option of champagne and caviar.
