Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement has had a big fat thumbs down – our 12 favourite reactions
At the expense of her voice and our sanity, Theresa May has been negotiating some last-ditch changes to the Brexit Withdrawal agreement – except, according to the Attorney General, she hasn’t actually won any legal changes.
👀 The ‘new’ Withdrawal Agreement’ is half the size of the ‘old’ one! Not a single word in it has changed…but they’ve pathetically altered the pagination to make it look different. The perfect symbol of Theresa May’s contrick Brexit Brexit. pic.twitter.com/rtKB3HBsdu

As the House of Commons fervently debates whether to support her deal or risk a No-deal Brexit, the politically minded citizens of Twitter have been having a say, and theirs has been a lot funnier than anything going on in Parliament.

Me: Rare steak please
Theresa May: I'll get some steakTM: Here is your steak
Me: This is a human shit
TM: It's a good steak
Me: It's a medium rare human shit
TM: I'll get another steakTM: Here is another steak
Me: This is the same human shit— James Felton (@JimMFelton) March 11, 2019

"What have you changed?"
"We have received assurances-"

"The EU have conceded that the backsto-"
"What. Have. You. Changed?"

"The font is smaller."
"Thank you. Doesn't that feel better getting that off your chest?" https://t.co/aFMs5Q8yqs— James Felton (@JimMFelton) March 12, 2019

I fully expect that the changes the government has achieved to the Brexit agreement are “legally binding” in the same way as reserving a hotel sun-lounger with a towel is legally binding. pic.twitter.com/ajASZ01u8k

Theresa May is giving her speech but has lost her voice. Thankfully it doesn't matter because we’ve all heard this speech so many times before.#WithdrawalAgreement
