Massacred! Our favourite 13 responses to this Daily Mail front page
Spare a thought for the Daily Mail at this difficult time. First Richard Branson stops selling it on his Virgin Trains, then Theresa May goes and carries out a ‘massacre of middle aged men’ in her cabinet reshuffle.
But did she really? These people aren’t so sure. Us neither.

"Hello police? I'd like to report a massacre. Fewer middle aged men have been promoted than in previous cabinet reshuffles and now they only make up 70% of the top jobs in government.
What do you mean, 'fuck off'? I basically just reported a genocide."" pic.twitter.com/WIoGuSJFfr

“It was a massacre! We didn’t stand a chance!”
“Has anyone seen Gove?”
“I think he made it out!”
“And Jeremy?”
“Yes, he escaped too!”
“Boris?”
“He’s safe. And Philip, Greg, Chris, Liam, Damian, Rory, Gavin.”
“How many Davids are accounted for?”
“I think I counted four.” pic.twitter.com/iTxeg6qAss

RESHUFFLE: Number of white men in government reduced from 89 to 82. Average age of government reduced from 52 to 51.
‘Massacre of Middle-Aged Men’ screams the Daily Mail.
‘White men are an oppressed minority’ sob their readers. pic.twitter.com/fqhGEzq54H
