I was born in Edinburgh in 1967 and brought up in Aberdeen.

I played the school chaplain in the family comedy “A Feast at Midnight” which was released in 1995.

I claimed £7,000 for furnishing a London property before ‘flipping’ my designated second home to a house in my constituency,
a property for which I claimed around £13,000 to cover stamp duty.( allegedly)

I also claimed for a cot mattress, despite children’s items being banned under the Commons rule.  (allegedly)

I’m a self-identified neo-conservative.

I have been accused of harbouring a hostile attitude towards Islam and Muslims since the publication of my book Celsius 7/7.

I have admitted to being a war gaming fan and I also confirmed that I played Dungeons and Dragons.

I take a pro-Israel line, and have criticised anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism and several United Nations peace processes.

I called for early intervention against Saddam Hussein and was a strong proponent of the view that the invasion of Iraq would bring peace
and democracy both to Iraq and the wider Middle East.

I stated in October 2004 of Tony Blair: “I can’t hold it back any more; I love Tony!”

Ed Balls said the following about me. “bla bla must also reconsider his unfair and unnecessary decision to cancel over 700 new school buildings, which will dash
the hopes of hundreds of thousands of pupils, teachers and parents and cost many thousands of jobs in the construction industry too.”

Tom Watson called me a “miserable pipsqueak of a man”.

Thanks to me nine schools in Sandwell have been told their projects have been stopped.

Who am I? Michael Gove
What am I? A Cock!
