9 Hilarious Tweets To Mark The First Day Of Brexit Negotiations

Monday, June 19, 2017 - 12:46

Remember that time we voted to leave the European Union without knowing how we would do it, what the repercussions would be or how much we’d fucked ourselves?

Well now that is *actually* happening, and unlike before, we now have no proper government and a Prime Minister who can’t be seen in public.

What can only be described as a political negotiation akin to a giant dustbin fire will begin today and we have two years to sort this shit out.

As you can imagine, this bodes incredibly well for Theresa May and David Davis - the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union - on this warm summer's day.

Luckily the internet has given us some light relief:

1. The language barrier is going to be, um, interesting:

Davis: loser says what
Barnier: quoi
Davis: *looks to translator*
Davis: does that mean we won

7. We know this feeling:

Can't believe Brexit negotiations start tomorrow. It's like when you have an epic family argument and then have to host people for dinner.

8. Don't:

Hey if you're not already rocking in a corner snotting into your sleeve about UK politics I just put a bet on David Davis as Tory leader.
