Description
A squeeze toy meant to look like a caricature of Michael Gove, UK Education Secretary in 2013. The toy was designed by Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell, based on his artowrk 'IF THE CAP FITS" in which Michael Gove, alongside then-Prime Minister David Cameron, is drawn wearing a dunce cap. The squeeze toy Michael Gove also has a dunce cap on, marked with a capital 'D'. His eyes are facing outwards in opposite directions.
