Labour Brexit crisis: Funniest Twitter reactions and memes on Corbyn leadership challenge
From comparisons to cats for the shadow cabinet to Corbyn in an empty room, here's the best social-media reactions.
After a Brexit vote that has seen a prime minister resign, the pound crash and racism on the rise in the UK, it was only time before the Labour party got in on the action. At the time of writing, 12 MPs from the cabinet and ministerial teams have resigned, and leader Jeremy Corbyn has quickly announced a new shadow cabinet.

Of course, don't let the Parliamentary Labour party overshadow the Brexit issue
Jeremy Corbyn is finally fighting hard to remain, then.
