Will there be another EU referendum, despite Andy Burnham promising not to re-run old Brexit arguments? Will Michael Gove ever criticise Israel's actions in Palestine, and if not, why not? What do the charges against Manchester City tell us about Manchester’s growth since 2008 – and why do questions around a football club present the first serious challenge to Burnham’s premiership?

Join Alastair and former Conservative Secretary of State for Education and Editor of The Spectator, Michael Gove, as they answer all these questions and more in this week's edition of Question Time.

Michael Gove is clearly an articulate and intelligent politician who has a lot of experience in national and international affairs. It is primarily for this reason that I find his insipid, vacuous and dismissive response when challenged about the wholesale destruction of Gaza so morally repugnant! Would I consider the Israeli actions as genocidal…I’m not sure! But any reasonable human being would have a hard time arguing it isn’t a blatant attempt at ethnic cleansing.under the complicit watch of the US.. Had this opinion been offered by someone less educated I might have seen it for what it was. But, to come from someone such as Michael Gove was truly shocking!

Gove says that Britain grew faster than Germany since 2016. Maybe thst was because we were still in the EU in 2016!! We did not actually 'leave' until 1st January 2021!!

I like it when u talk to people that you disagree with.
With calmness and respect maintained rather than going for the emotive responses.

Gove is a loathsome shapeshifter. Reeks of insincerity. Oleaginous and obsequious.

Gove is, in my view, a truly despicable human being. His glib, self-satisfied response when discussing Israel was utterly nauseating. The way he talks about the deaths of innocent civilians—children included—as though they are merely an unfortunate by-product of war is deeply disturbing. I can’t help wondering whether he would be quite so detached and dismissive if it were his own children whose lives were hanging in the balance. What I find equally infuriating is the amount of exposure this deeply objectionable character continues to receive. There is something profoundly wrong with turning such a figure into a regular fixture on our screens, giving him yet another platform to pontificate while the human cost of these conflicts is reduced to political rhetoric.

I found Gove offered some interesting and different analysis on the main episode yesterday. Then I listened to this episode and his shameless, disingenuous defence of Israeli policy and IDF activities in Gaza and remembered why he is so dangerous and loathsome.

Just because Gove doesn’t rant and scream like a lunatic doesn’t mean that he’s not expressing views that aren’t unhinged and divorced from reality - he’s just vile.

Never trusted Gove. He stabbed both Cameron in the back over Brexit and Johnson in the back over the Tory leadership. No integrity or values at all.

I invite Michael Gove to stand in the queue at Athens airport for 3 hours to have his passport stamped.

Dont give this waste of space Gove a platform to spout his vacuous drivel.

Michael Gove is a slimy, misguided, corrupt old Tory. If i never hear from him again, I'd be fine with that. I don't know which is greater - his incompetence or his arrogance. His views on Gaza and the way he talks about it, his views on Brexit and his role in the shambles that followed. He is a loathsome individual and not somebody we need to hear from.

Michael "We're fed up with experts" Gove. What a plonker.

Words escape me, from Brexit to Genocide - it's always some else's fault

Switching off because Michael started talking about experts again

Why the f*** are you platforming a guy like Gove?!! He was partially responsible for misleading the British people into voting for the disaster of Brexit and now you hand him the opportunity to lie even more!? YOU are now part of the problem!

@olliestudio45 1 day ago

So he is now admitting that Brexit was going to have definite costs and uncertain benefits, none of which has actually materialised in a tangible manner 10 years later.
