AS a Conservative minister, Michael Gove clearly has a fondness for making cuts. But it’s “serious shapes” that he was seen cutting over the weekend, as he was spotted on the dancefloor at a Scottish nightclub – again.
Late last summer, the Levelling Up Secretary – at the time serving as the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster under prime minister Boris Johnson – was spotted raving at Bohemia.
The club, which is in the upstairs bit of the city-centre Irish pub O'Neills, hit the headlines after Gove was seen dancing the night away in the venue.

Now, another Aberdeen club can add Gove to their list of famous visitors.
This time, it was Club Tropicana, which plays retro 80s tunes for nighttime revellers.
Writing on Facebook on Monday, the club said: “Another HUGE weekend at Club T. We even had Michael Gove in cutting some serious shapes.”
It shared an image of the Tory minister alongside someone who looks to be security.
Local councillor Deena Tiserra said: "It's always good to see a UK Government minister helping the economy of Aberdeen by enjoying the city's nightlife.
"It's interesting Mr Gove chose to dance the night away in Club Tropicana – which specialises in 80s music – given he is doing his level best to return the UK economy back to the 80s where interest rates, inflation and unemployment were at record high levels.
"At least Mr Gove can afford a night out amid the current cost of living crisis."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
