Michael Gove raves at Aberdeen nightclub in bizarre video of ‘merry’ minister partying with revellers at 2am
CABINET minister Michael Gove raves in his suit at a techno club at 2.30am — to the amazement of revellers.
The newly single Tory, 54, was filmed throwing shapes on his own before hugging another dancer.
He posed for photos with punters in an O’Neill’s pub below the club before going upstairs to check out DJ Nina Stanger’s drum-and-bass set.
Bemused staff said he tried to swerve the £5 entry fee by saying he was Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
Adam Taylor, manager of the club in Gove’s hometown of Aberdeen said: “He was saying he shouldn’t have to pay.
“I told him my co-manager Nina was upstairs playing jungle and going hard.
“Michael said ‘I LOVE dancing’ — and did he ever.
“He spent the next 1½ hours dancing almost non-stop despite the other, paying, patrons often looking to engage him in spirited discussions about Government policies.”
Emma Lament, a guest singer in the pub downstairs, told The Sun: “He turned up at O’Neill’s close to closing time.
“He had a few drinks there and was posing for photos before he decided to have a nose at the club.
“He absolutely loved the set that was being played — hard jungle and techno — and stayed until the end of the night.
“He never left the dancefloor the whole time I was there and he had plenty of moves in his locker.”
Groover Gove was back in Aberdeen following last month’s news that he and wife Sarah Vine, mum to his two kids, are to divorce.
Emma added: “People were buying him drinks but were also joking that he should be getting the rounds after he racked up £100,000 in expenses last year.”
Gove has been tipped to replace Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who was recently criticised for staying on holiday in Crete as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.
Sources have suggested Prime Minister Boris Johnson has decided to move Mr Raab in a reshuffle earmarked for early next year.
A spokesman for Mr Gove refused to comment about his club night.
