No surprise. He will have made the calculation that abstaining may prevent his deselection by rabid party members and also gives him an argument, albeit somewhat weak, that he is distancing himself from Johnson in the eyes of the slightly less rabid voters who still might vote conservative. Obviously doing the right thing and voting to support the the report will not even have been considered. Hopefully he won’t get deselected and will lose his seat because the majority of voters will see right through him.Gove chickening out.

Cannot be asked to look through tons of pages, so many apologies if it's already been mentioned, but a video has leaked of one of their parties in December 2020, while us ordinary citizens were locked indoors, couldn't see dying loved ones and had Christmas cancelled.
A photo from the party did leak not long after after the news emerged. Two of the people in the photo are seen dancing to The Pouges and downing wine, while one is also seen from the photo wearing Christmas braces.
This guy was given an OBE by Boris in his resignations list.
