The General Election will wrap up today, but the historic victory for Labour won’t be forgotten soon – and neither will the memes.
Social media has not disappointed with reactions to this year’s election results.
From Liz Truss losing her seat to Keir Starmer shaking hands with Elmo, we’ve rounded up all of the odd moments and reactions online to the ‘Genny Lex’.
After winning the seat in his home constituency of Holborn and St Pancras, Keir was met with applause and well wishes.
