People on Twitter have been mocking Brexit with a little help from their friends, the Beatles.

It all started when Brexit Central editor Jonathan Isaby made a social call-out to his followers to give the band’s songs a political twist after Ringo Starr said that Britain should “get on with” Brexit.

In the light of Ringo Starr's intervention last night, is it time for #BrexitBeatlesSongs? Can I start the bidding with Hey Juncker?

And the hashtag quickly took off.

Some of the lyrics shared were simple yet effective.

Some were creative (and surprisingly catchy).

#BrexitBeatlesSongs Help.

No, seriously. Our country is wrecking itself because bigots are dictating law.

Help.
