Brexit campaigner and MEP Nigel Farage stood down as the leader of Ukip on Monday morning, joining Boris Johnson in legging it immediately after bringing dramatic change to the country.

As you'd expect, the lovely people of Twitter jumped at the chance to have a final pop at the anti-EU politician.

A lot of people had déjà vu from the last time he resigned

Someone should tell @Nigel_Farage we have something called annual leave. You don't need to resign every summer.

Others just wanted to have a crack at him for jumping ship after the country voted to leave the EU

Farage is the housemate at uni who encouraged everyone to throw a party but then left the next morning so they didn't have to tidy up.

"I want my life back", says Farage as he steps into a time machine bound for the 1970s.

Farage says 'finally the real me can come out' seconds before shedding his human skin and becoming a gigantic racism lizard.

Farage says he will finally be able to reveal his real self, I am expecting feather boas and Shirley Bassey numbers.

But what about the future?

Maybe Mark could run to be Ukip leader?
After all this month we've seen a lot of...

...Reckless moves 😎

I'd love it if due to lack of suitable applicants here, UKIP is forced to hire an EU migrant worker to fill the vacant leader position.
