The Levelling Up Secretary - the ultimate political survivor?

The Levelling Up Secretary - the ultimate political survivor? Michael Gove has served in the cabinet of four prime ministers.

The current Secretary for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Michael Gove, first joined the cabinet in 2010 and has remained there for most of the past 14 years in various posts. He’s served four prime ministers. 

During that time he has provoked controversy from many areas - from teachers, lawyers, landlords for the policies he has championed. But he has also attracted friends and enemies in his own party due to his decisions over Brexit, leadership bids and party politics.
