BBC (18/05/2025): Gove 'in agreement' with Swinney over second independence referendum:

Last week, First Minister John Swinney said that he wanted to achieve "demonstrable support" for independence...
Gove, who held various cabinet positions under three Conservative prime ministers, was often tasked with overseeing relations between the UK and Scottish government.

You see me shoes in your mirror mind
Quick goes the trick
I ask your sick sailing sailors blind..."
