Boris Johnson has fired his first love-bomb at Scotland. And we got to watch it – well, him – explode live on air. The Prime Minister sent Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove in to Glasgow TV studios yesterday to make nice with North Britain’s rebels. As best he could. Look, Mr Gove told a succession of hosts, Scots are all far too worried about the Rona bug to fret about some referendum malarkey. What we want, he told us in a tone so sweet it sounded like he had gargled in honey, is something called “Team UK” which would be “working together” with “laser-focus” on recovery. And Nicola Sturgeon, he repeated several times, after warmly congratulating her on her victory, wanted that too. The pandemic comes first, sure it does.
