15 of the funniest tweets about Brexit not happening today
If you feel like Brexit has been going on for literally forever then, well, you're pretty much right. Since the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union three and a half years ago in June 2016, Brexit has now been delayed three times.
The UK was originally supposed to leave the EU back in March 2019, but when ex-Prime Minister Theresa May failed to get her Brexit deal through Parliament the date for Brexit was extended to May. And then October. The 31st of October, to be precise - which is today.
We've finally reached 31 October and current Prime Minister Boris Johnson still hasn't secured a Brexit deal MPs are happy to approve, forcing him to request an extension until 31 January, 2020.
So, in true internet style, people on Twitter have been trolling the fact that Brexit hasn't happened today, using the hashtag #BritainHasExploded to mock Conservative MP Mark Francois who said "this country will explode" if Brexit doesn't go ahead.
We've had a good LOL and thought it only fair to share some of the funniest tweets, just for you. Unsurprisingly there are a lot about tea.
The day is upon us.
Mark Francois warned us all.
It's October 31st and Britain has not left the EU.
This country has exploded.
