Michael Gove's EU Tweet Prompts Hilarious Insults From Twitter Users
As the Tory leadership contest races on, all the candidates are fighting to make their voices heard and clearly outline what they stand for as their party looks to fill the seat left vacant by David Cameron.
Michael Gove is one of the Conservative MPs vying for the position, but he's had a few slip-ups along the way.
Most recently, the 'Vote Leave' figurehead posted a tweet to clarify his intentions regarding the UK's post-Brexit relationship with the EU.
With the anti-EU campaigners being marred by claims they never had plans in place for what we would actually do if we decided to leave, a lot of people saw this as back-tracking.
Obviously, people were quick to point out that "free trade and friendly cooperation" are provided by the EU...
Some people weren't so kind, and started firing off some very colourful and inspired insults
Gove currently faces competition from Home Secretary Theresa May, Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom, Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb, and former Defence Secretary Liam Fox for the right to lead his party and, by default, the country.
A result is expected on 9 September.

the strategy of mastery
These are words I took verbatim from my favorite scene in my favorite documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
The film documents the life of Jiro Ono, Japan's greatest sushi chef- the first sushi chef ever to be awarded three Michelin Stars.
The movie was a huge hit, and I have two thoughts on why this was so:
ONE: It's a film about Mastery. You may not be a billionaire, you may not be a hot-shot celebrity rock star or famous politician, but you can still be a bad-ass by being a master of something.
Just find something useful, dedicate yourself to it every day, achieve mastery at it, and you'll be just as happy and satisfied as anyone else.
It's a far more edifying path to success (not to mention, likely) than hanging around, waiting to get discovered, waiting to get “picked” by the establishment.
BITE-SIZE PIECES: Jiro doesn't have a chain of restaurants and his own TV show, like other famous chefs. He's just got a small, underground 10-seater in a Tokyo subway station. Not much bigger than a food truck.
So he's earned his success, not with some big, grandiose plan (“It's the Uber of Chipotle”), but just one piece of sushi, one bite-size piece at a time.
This Mastery + Bite Size Pieces strategy had a huge impact on me. I spent so many years, wondering what my “big plan” was. But after seeing this film, I realized I don't need a big plan, I just needed to roll up my sleeve and get to work. It was very liberating.
