PICTURED: Michael Gove, 55, rolls up his sleeves and pours himself a Grey Goose vodka as he parties in an Ibiza bar

• Former Tory cabinet secretary Michael Gove, 55, was pictured partying in Ibiza
• Gove has served as a minister for 11 years and twice sought the Tory leadership
• He appears to be relaxing while suggesting his frontbench career is at an end
• Last year, Gove, who recently split from his wife, was filmed ‘raving’ in Aberdeen 

Former Conservative minister Michael Gove has been photographed partying at a dance venue in Ibiza and topping up his drink.

Pictures show the former Levelling Up Secretary in a crumpled white shirt while pouring himself a Grey Goose vodka next to a drinks bucket.

The former minister, 55, was partying inside the island’s Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, surrounded by other revellers.

He can be seen leaning over a table with two buckets of drinks as he tops up his own glass. 

Gove appears to have bounced back since being fired by outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson last month, after advising the beleaguered PM to step down.

Now on the backbenches, he is holidaying on the Mediterranean island with his children Beatrice and William, The Mirror reports.

Gove has served in successive cabinet posts since 2010 and twice sought the Tory leadership, coming third in ballots in 2016 and 2019.

Now supporting Rishi Sunak in the race to be next Tory leader, Gove indicated this month that his frontbench career in politics is over.

He wrote in The Times this month: ‘I do not expect to be in government again. But it was the privilege of my life to spend 11 years in the cabinet under three prime ministers. I know what the job requires. And Rishi has it.

‘Proposed cuts to national insurance would favour the wealthy, and changes to corporation tax apply to big businesses, not small entrepreneurs.

‘I cannot see how safeguarding the stock options of FTSE 100 executives should ever take precedence over supporting the poorest in our society, but at a time of want it cannot be the right priority.’

Gove’s partying in Ibiza is the latest snapshot of him letting his hair down. In August last year, he was filmed ‘raving’ at a nightclub in Aberdeen in front of stunned partygoers while dressed in a suit.

In the clip, Gove was shown flailing his arms on the dancefloor and interacting with other revellers.

Last summer, Gove announced his split from his wife, Mail columnist Sarah Vine, after 20 years.

The pictures of Gove’s Spanish holiday come after the PM was pictured with his wife and two youngest children on holiday in Greece. 

Deputy PM Dominic Raab was filmed playing Laser Quest while his boss was in Ukraine.
