<p>Britain&#8217;s Environment Secretary said candidates should be judged on their qualities in office and not on their backgrounds, as he fended off further questions about his past cocaine use.</p>
<p>His fellow Brexiteer Mr Johnson, the current front-runner in the race to become prime minister, has pledged a tax cut for workers earning over £50,000.</p>
<p>Being interviewed on Tuesday, Mr Gove said: <em>“You can come from my own background but if your priorities seem to be skewed towards the already fortunate in society that’s insane.”</em></p>
<p>Pressed at The Times CEO Summit on whether he was discussing Mr Johnson’s tax proposals, Mr Gove was received with laughter when he replied: <em>“I wasn’t thinking of any one particular candidate, but I do think his tax proposals are mistaken.</em></p>
<p><em>“I think that there are two tests that I would apply to any tax cut. Does it par economic growth and does it help the most disadvantaged in our society?</em></p>
<p><em>“A tax cut that concentrates on helping the wealthiest pensioners most of all is not a tax cut which either improves productivity or generates a greater level of social equity.”</em></p>
