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.
We need to renegotiate a new relationship with the EU, based on free trade and friendly cooperation. #Gove2016

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...
@Gove2016 I agree Michael. Let's do it....I hear there's an organisation who can help sort this out, two letters...ah what is it now...?

@Gove2016 So, some sort of union with Europe? Wonder where we could find one of those?

If only there was some kind of Union across Europe, based on free trade and friendly cooperation eh @Gove2016

@Gove2016 Oh I get it! We should join the EU! You realise members get all those things in one convenient package, right?

@Gove2016 This statement should win a prize for Biggest Back-Track ever.

@Gove2016 we had one, and you helped destroy it; you are one confused bag of mince.

@Gove2016 You gigantic plumb; we had that. You fucked it up. You. Personally. With your mates. For what? Cant you do something else in life?

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.
