LONDON -- Conservative Party politician Michael Gove had been on a Twitter hiatus; until the last couple of days, not a peep had been heard from the MP since mid-July.
On Oct. 2, he decided to re-enter the tweeting game, firing off five tweets in the space of two days.
Most of these tweets were the generic stuff one expects from the account of a politician: fluff like, "Delighted for @edballs- a labour victory we can all celebrate" and "Theresa May's speech today quite superb".
But then the former secretary of state for justice made a grave mistake indeed.

GOVE! Twitter 101: if you're a hardline supporter on one side of a controversial issue, nothing will save you from trolling if you show any affection for another polarising topic.
In this case, Gove has evidently thrown his support behind BBC1 comedy Mrs Brown’s Boys, which concurrently won "best sitcom of the 21st century" in a Radio Timesonline poll of 14,000 people, while being called "the worst sitcom ever made" by critics.
Those few words were more than enough fuel for his Twitter adversaries:

A low-key return indeed.
But as all great tweeters know, you win some, you lose some. Having only joined in June 2016 and with just 99 tweets to his name, he is still new to the game.
This is what we call learning from your experiences, Mr. Gove.
