Osborne: Gove has wanted to leave EU 'for decades'

Justice Secretary Michael Gove had "for many decades" wanted to leave the EU, Chancellor George Osborne has told the Today programme.

Osborne's comments came after David Cameron said a deal struck with EU leaders will give the UK "special status" and he would campaign with his "heart and soul" to stay in the union.

"There are some people in our country who, regardless of whatever deal was delivered, want to leave the European Union," Osborne said.
