The best Twitter reactions to the UK’s political apocalypse

Britain, Britain, Britain. The land of queueing, fish and chips, and the stiff upper lip.

With the state of the UK’s political landscape in the shape that it currently is, we’re needing oodles of the latter.

Jeremy Corbyn is still clinging on to Labour leadership Since the results of the EU referendum were announced people have panicked, they’ve shouted and they’ve protested.

But most of all, they’ve done what they do best and totally taken the piss.

Here are some of the best tweets from the Brexit aftermath:

Just to recap, a second EU referendum has been ruled out. But Article 50 has not yet been triggered.

Who next for Labour leader? Theresa May, Michael Gove, Stephen Crabb, Liam Fox and Andrea Leadsom have been confirmed as the official Tory leadership contenders.

While Angela Eagle is expected to run against Jeremy Corbyn, among other candidates, as a result of the Labour coup.

Phew… that just about covers it.
