Ian Hislop heavily criticises Michael Gove on Have I Got News For You

Ian Hislop is on fire on #HIGNFY every 5 mins he hands a verbal punch on Gove - it's a joy to watch

#HIGNFY Ian Hislop taking the dreadful Michael Gove to task is a thing of wonder and beauty!

I wearily watched #HIGNFY expecting to hear the same jokes I'd heard a few hours earlier on The News Quiz, but instead got treated to Ian Hislop barely able to disguise his contempt for the odious and slimy Michael Gove.

You could be forgiven for thinking that Ian Hislop doesn’t like Michael Gove. #HIGNFY

Raising a glass to Ian Hislop in honour of his thirty minute evisceration of Michael Gove. #HIGNFY

Ian Hislop at least got some good one-liners in, but I'm not so keen on light entertainment giving rehabilitation to politicians that don't deserve it #HIGNFY

#HIGNFY brutal for Gove. Exactly what the little turd deserved. Both Paul Merton & Ian Hislop absolutely hate his guts. Classic 🤣😂

I’m loving Ian Hislop putting the boot into Michael Gove on #hignfy

Good job he wasn’t on Ian Hislop’s team could have been nasty.

Was worth seeing Ian Hislop make the slimy toad squirm though.

If you haven’t yet seen tonight's #HIGNFY, do watch it on the iPlayer, if only for the joy of Ian Hislop elegantly eviscerating Michael Gove. David Tennant as host is just a lovely bonus.

Gove was having a right laugh on HIGNFY until Ian Hislop called him a cockroach

Blimey Michael Gove on #HIGNFY #BBC is getting such absolute pasting, it is utterly joyous! Bloody brilliant lot. Ian Hislop leading the charge.

Who on earth thought it was a good idea to have Michael Gove on HIGNFY? And why on earth did he think it was a good idea to accept? Ian Hislop doing an excellent job of dishing out the truth medicine.

I'm here for Ian HIslop giving slimy toad Michael Gove a hard time on #HIGNFY. 👏👏👏
