Gove: Trump has 'honied words for almost everyone'
He had very warm words for [Theresa May] and Britain generally
Michael Gove joined us this morning fresh from his interview with President-elect Donald Trump to tell us what the controversial man is really like.
The MP, who spoke to America's next leader for The Times, revealed Trump is warmer and less aggressive than he seems on Twitter - and that "he has honied words for almost everyone" - even our Prime Minister with whom relations have been rather frosty.
Gove went on to tell Piers and Susanna that Trump's enthusiasm to secure a trade deal with the UK seems "sincere" and although he has yet to speak personally to the PM since the interview, thinks she will be "pleased" with the developments.
Piers also questioned Gove on his political reputation as a "backstabber" after Brexit and David Cameron's resignation and admitted he does have regrets - but wouldn't reveal whether he is still on speaking terms with the former Prime Minister.
