An MP celebrated Brexit with his cardboard Margaret Thatcher – our 11 favourite cutting responses
The final step in getting Brexit over the line happened on Wednesday, when the deal legislation passed through parliament and received Royal Assent.
One Conservative MP, Sir David Amess, celebrated with his cardboard Margaret Thatcher – and we don’t mean Andrea Leadsom.
There were a couple of problems with his tweet – apart from the glaringly obvious.
She invented the Single Market and liked being at the Top Table so I doubt it David. https://t.co/yDWfo7aNc2

Now brexit is done our Conservative MPs can do what they've wanted to do for years, go to a travel lodge and bang a cardboard cutout of Thatcher. I love our normal country. https://t.co/P1KAxPTgJP

I’m not saying the Conservative benches are filled with nut jobs, but the MP who told the audience of TV’s Brass Eye that “cake is a made up drug” keeps a laminated, life size figure of Thatcher in his office, so… https://t.co/vMfUSD0eZX

Mrs Thatcher campaigned vigorously to join the EU, publicly stated she thought it would be disastrous to leave it, and would I think have thought it disturbing that anyone would want to keep a life-size cut out of her in his home for God only knows what purpose. https://t.co/Z2EAl1cpNN
