Nigel Farage says we’re heading to a very dark place – our 9 favourite reactions
By now, we’re all aware that a momentous vote took place in parliament yesterday, with MPs managing to wrest control of the Commons from the government, paving the way for a further vote on whether to request an extension to Brexit and kill off the possibility of leaving without a deal. In this climate, as you’d expect, Brexit Party leader and lifelong Eurosceptic, Nigel Farage, has been getting worried that Brexit might slip through his fingers.

Me after stopping on my way home from a night of drinking to get two slices of pizza I didn't need at all because I honestly wasn't hungry and it's just a tic at this point, basically, a weird searching for control, honestly nothing higher-brained than the way a dog responds to https://t.co/TkCdTvGcC5

Is it the large pit your Russian 'mates' are going to throw you in when they lose a huge amount of money if we don't leave with no deal? https://t.co/FjlPZTogbf

If you're there, Nigel, then yes, it will be a very dark place.
Also, this is second-rate Orwellian shit. https://t.co/YHhNzH0K7k
