MICHAEL Gove has a new government role promoting British business abroad – despite his involvement in Brexit chaos for exporters.
The Cabinet Office minister is taking control of the GREAT campaign, which was previously under Liz Truss’s remit. The change has been noted on Gove’s UK Government website biography, and will be officially announced shortly according to Politico.
The GREAT campaign was launched in 2012 and promotes business, investment and studying opportunities in the UK to an overseas audience.
According to the SNP, Gove, the former Vote Leave co-convener, is the “last person” who should be taking on the role. The Brexiteer has recently been accused of wilfully ignoring the reality of Brexit’s impact in order to avoid accountability for its “long-term damage”.
