In 2012 Michael Gove repeatedly told BBC Radio 4 he “could not be prime minister”.
Gove added: “Theresa May has been an outstanding Home Secretary”.
“I will ensure we honour the instructions the British people have given us”, he said.

“There was a problem with the Northern Ireland peace process”, he added.
He said: “He is actually Theon Greyjoy or will be by the time I am finished with him”.
