Boris Johnson told to hire carpenter to 'fix Cabinet' as jokes pour in amid resignations

The shock departure of Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid from the Cabinet has ignited a nationwide debate.

Both the former Chancellor and Health Secretary blasted the PM in their resignation letters yesterday, and their exits marked the start of a wave of 17 Tory resignations, which includes seven ministers to date.

As a result, everyone has been wading in on Boris Johnson' s future.

But none have been having more fun with the bombshell revelations than Twitter users, who have been flooding the site with memes in the hours since the news broke.

Some urged Johnson to hire a carpenter to "fix the cabinet" as it's "falling apart", while others poked fun at Matt Hancock 's possible response to all the chaos and Theresa May's imagined joy over it all.

For one Twitter user, Sunak and Javid's resignations read like a scene from a comedy sketch.

Another joker implied the Cabinet was toppling like a house of cards, sharing a GIF which showed a stack quickly collapsing.

Some even wondered if there was another reason behind the resignations, with a few Love Island fans suggesting the pair had quit to join Casa Amor.

But it wasn't just Boris' reaction people were interested in, with many turning their attention to his wife.

Columnist Kirsty Strickland tweeted: "Carrie with the iron frantically steaming off the gold wallpaper and stuffing it in an overnight bag."

Whereas another Twitter user sarcastically suggested Theresa May must be "utterly heartbroken".

Others shared an amusing mock-up of a fake letter that could have been sent to the PM by Keir Starmer, which simply reads: "Lol. LMAO."

And last but certainly not least, the jokesters did not forget the man whose actions have previously launched a thousand memes.

Matt Hancock was given a meme all of his own. A Twitter user shared the now-infamous picture of the former Health Secretary jumping over a park fence, shared alongside the caption: "Matt Hancock when told Boris looking for new front benchers."
