Downing Street’s Union Unit has tried many ideas to keep Scotland in the UK – but even they can’t have thought of this. Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove was spotted in the early hours of the morning dancing in a popular nightclub in Aberdeen, the city of his birth. Gove, a veteran of the Whitehall jungle, turned up shortly after 1 a.m. at O’Neills pub – a place ‘where you can enjoy the craic’ in its own words – before heading on upstairs to nightclub Bohemia.
One gob-smacked punter was quoted in the Daily Record as saying: ‘Michael Gove walked into O’Neills at around 1.15am, the pub was just about closing. I’m almost sure he was by himself. I heard people saying, ‘he’s a Tory MP’ others asked ‘Who’s Michael Gove?’ and were Googling him. Soon people went up for photos.
