Michael Gove, Levelling up Secretary, BBC

Facts

In an interview for BBC News Michael Gove was asked whether Suella Braverman was a "politician of integrity", to which he responded, "absolutely."

Braverman left the cabinet under Liz Truss' premiership after being found to have broken the ministerial code. Braverman used a private email address to send material to John Hayes, a Conservative MP. She tried to copy in Hayes’s wife, and mistakenly sent it to a staff member working for another backbencher, Andrew Percy. Andrew Percy informed the chief whip of the breach.

Verdict

Michael Gove's assertion that Suella Braverman was "absolutely" a "politician of integrity" was false. In fact it was the opposite of the truth.
