Vince Cable described Brexit as an erotic spasm and the jokes came thick and fast – the 16 funniest reactions
As the Liberal Democrats conduct their annual party conference in Brighton, their leader Sir Vince Cable has grabbed the attention of the public by describing Brexit as an “erotic spasm of fundamentalists”. It hasn’t gone down well. In spite of the potentially life-ruining images of Nigel Farage and Arron Banks which the phrase arouses, the internet rose to the challenge of making jokes about it. These 16 made a really good fist of it.

It is with grave regret I must inform you of a phrase Sir Vince Cable will use in his big conference speech tomorrow.
He will refer to Brexit as an “erotic spasm”.
This will surely go down as one of the weirdest things ever said by the leader of a major UK political party. pic.twitter.com/LGV8tZwcSa

I think waking up to Vince Cable and John Humphries talking about an erotic spasm might be the worst moment of my life

Sir Vince Cable's erotic spasm has leaked – and not in a good way!
And by applying the term to Brexshitters he has ruined the phrase #EroticSpasm forever
