John Redwood’s Brexit take invited ridicule and these people happily obliged

Here’s Tory MP and Brexit cheerleader John Redwood giving his take on Theresa May’s statement this afternoon after her Salzburg humiliation yesterday.

It's because the EU is no bowl of cherries many of us wish to go. There are no cherries to pick. Now we pay for our own cake & for other countries' cake too. I look forward to paying just for our own cake, making more of it at home. Then we can have better cake & more prosperity.

Possibly it was a reference to the picture (and mildly controversial caption) European Council chief Donald Tusk posted on Instagram.

Isn’t this from Thick of It? Something about a cake that eats itself, if memory serves… https://t.co/Srcq2EJPzQ

Cake is a 'made-up' drug, being composed of artificial chemicals. Cake also contains a psychoactive compound, dimesmeric andersonphosphate. This ingredient stimulates Shatner's Bassoon, and so drastically alters an individual's perception of time. https://t.co/Utr4uBfrRC
