UK election leads to shock hung parliament – Twitter reacts

Same time next year, everyone?

May has failed at the biggest gamble a Prime Minister has ever made since the biggest gamble a Prime Minister ever made last year. #GE2017

Well quite.

The Tories campaigned against Corbyn's supposed terrorist links, & will govern with a party tied to Loyalist paramilitaries. #GE2017

Enjoy it while it lasts. The ego will rise.

They should try counting those Brexit votes again.

First count – Amber Rudd loses. Demands recount

Second count – Rudd loses. Demands recount

Third count – Rudd wins…that's that.#GE2017 pic.twitter.com/9ifc8n1Bne

Over 15,000,000 voters would disagree with you.

The @Conservatives might just squeak in. Big mistake from Theresa May to call this election. #GE2017

This is the first minister of Scotland tweeting, by the way.

No words. Just this from @realDonaldTrump for the outgoing @AlexSalmond.#GE2017 pic.twitter.com/3J2lliMdsu

Idiosyncratic Britain was in full flow. From the people that brought you Boaty McBoatface.

She’s been ripped apart by the right-wing press. Her constituents saw past it.

Humbled to receive an increased majority of over 35,000 in Hackney North & Stoke Newington.
A vote for hope and a better Britain.#GE2017

Clegg clogged.

Oi, @Nick_Clegg – have you considered a new career path? You could retrain. How about a degree – ONLY £9,000 A YEAR, EH? .YOU SNAKE. #GE2017

Wahey!

Here are two figures dressed in red. One is a joke and cannot be trusted to run our country. The other is Elmo. #GE2017 pic.twitter.com/0m7kAPFxwI

The opposition were as chipper as could be.

Rise like lions. We are many, they are few. #VoteLabour #GE2017 pic.twitter.com/I5wpiQDgnW

Well you can’t possibly put them on television. Far too unpredictable.

Watching @BBC coverage on Twitter. Much talk of the mythical creatures called "young people" but oddly, not one rustled up to speak #GE2017

‘Stick a blue badge on Voldemort and they’d still vote for him.’

Favourites for new Tory leader:
A bin on fire
Voldemort
A slightly larger bin on fire
A bag of spiders
Sauron #GE2017

The longest-serving MP carries on. He’s 85!

Dennis Skinner, the Beast of Bolsover has kept his seat! Excellent! #GE2017

— Jeremy Corbyn for PM (@JeremyCorbyn4PM) June 9, 2017

Thank heavens for that.

Well if they can’t laugh at themselves…
