British Tory politician Michael Gove is two things: relentlessly dull and a former candidate for Prime Minister. “I don’t know what charisma is, but I don’t have it,” he remarked last year.

Now in a shocking development, Gove has revealed he once took cocaine as a young journalist, but it’s what resulted on that occasion what’s got tongues wagging at Whitehall.
“I remember I became animatedly, aggressively dull,” he noted Wednesday.
