Twitter reacts to #BrexitChaos as Theresa May hit by Cabinet resignations

Social media reaction after the Prime Minister presented her deal on Britain’s EU withdrawal to the Commons.

It’s been an eventful day in Parliament, with a series of ministerial resignations and the Prime Minister threatened with a vote of no-confidence over her Brexit deal.

Little surprise then that #BrexitChaos was the top trend in the UK as Theresa May addressed MPs in the Commons about her plans.

Among those who quit the Prime Minister’s Cabinet were Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab and Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey.

Social media users reacted to the news with tweets serious and not-so-serious, as Britain discussed the prospect of the PM’s three options: deal, no deal, or no Brexit at all.

Here are some of the best reactions social media had to offer.

1. Comedian Shappi Khorsandi offered to take Mr Raab’s place.

2. This journalist drew comparison to the Harry Potter books…

3. David Baddiel made this incredible pun.

4. John Prescott asked for this one simple favour.

5. Actor Rob Delaney gave everyone this strong mental image.

6. Comedian Ian Stone suggested everybody should get a go at Mr Raab’s job.

7. Try to keep up with this…

8. Don’t worry, this important member of Government hasn’t resigned.

9. Lastly, this Twitter user remained optimistic.

HONOLULU (AP) — Days after the Hawaii attorney general’s office released an outside report that flagged communications issues in the response to the deadly August wildfire, Maui County officials pushed back and offered “clarifications” on some of the report’s details.

Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez released a first phase report Wednesday by the Fire Safety Research Institute that said a broad communications breakdown left authorities in the dark and residents without emergency alerts during the deadliest U.S. wildfire in a century.

The report did not answer questions about cause or liability. It also said it is only an initial reckoning and two more reports will follow. Investigators are still trying to get some documents from Maui County.

Late Friday, Maui County issued a statement with clarifications on various details in the report, including when Mayor Richard Bissen issued a county emergency proclamation among other things.

Lopez responded in a statement Monday that the attorney general's office welcomes Maui “supplementing the facts.”

The Aug. 8 fire killed 101 people and destroyed much of the historic town of Lahaina.
