Michael Gove Spitting Image sketch the latest in the series

In the latest video to be featured from the makers Spitting Image, Surrey Heath MP, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Cabinet Office Minister) Michael Gove is the subject of the puppet makers attention.

The sketch is a dig at Brexit and also features puppets of Home Secretary Priti Patel MP, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron.

Spitting Image has made a return to screens after it last aired on British TV sets in 1996. The political landscape seems ripe for a return to the ultimate piss-take series that has become an institution of political comedy.

“Govey in Paris” is the second spitting image sketch to feature a Surrey MP. In early October, the makers of the show featured a side-splitting sketch featuring MP for Walton and Esher and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, titled “It’s Ka-RAAB-te”.

Gove & Raab are currently the most senior Surrey MP’s in the Conservative government as Cabinet Ministers so it is unlikely we will see any other MP’s from Surrey constituencies featured.
