A Blue Christmas for Theresa May: Chrissy Teigen and more react to confidence vote
This morning it was announced that British prime minister Theresa May will face a confidence motion on her leadership tonight.
If Mrs May loses tonight's vote it will all but guarantee a hard Brexit and could potentially delay the Brexit divorce date of March 29, 2019.
While there were rumours last night that the confidence vote was imminent, many were shocked by the announcement this morning.
Of course, Twitter is the place to be when major news breaks.
Here are some of our favourite reactions and takes for your reading pleasure.

Watching Britain trying to leave then EU is like watching an Irish person trying to leave a house party.
