Michael Gove thought he had a Jay Rayner ‘gotcha’ moment and it blew up spectacularly in his face

Possibly the most pleasing exchange on Twitter today might come from levelling up tsar Michael Gove (if that’s what he’s still occasionally up to these days) and Observer restaurant critic, writer and presenter Jay Rayner.

It began when the Observer man said this about the government’s current direction of travel, such as it is.

And it obviously caught the eye of Gove, who presumably though the had a proper ‘gotcha’ moment to show off in the Commons tea room.

Oooh! There’s no coming back from that, right Mike? Wrong.

Boom.

Last word to @secrettory12.
