18 of the very best responses to last night's UK Prime Minister debate on Channel 4

All the memes.

LAST NIGHT, THE British General Election campaign ramped up its intensity when Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn went head-to-head with presenter Jeremy Paxman (eh, separately).

The main takeaway was that Paxman went a bit over the top and wouldn’t let the candidates even finish their sentences – but in general there were so many good moments to unpack.

1. Like the guy who stood up to give a standing ovation and nobody joined in

Sickened.

2. “Mate, dya wanna sit down. It’s not Les Mis. “

4. “Genuinely without the context you’d think she’s just won a car.”

And a hard Brexit for everyone in the audience!

5. There was the guy who could be seen mouthing “that’s bollocks” in the audience

7. And Paxman’s style has been torn to shreds

8. He could quote any important personal belief about Corbyn – even if it wasn’t in the manifesto

9. He was probably just hangry

10. Let’s play a game

11. Go on, try it

12. Corbyn threw shade straight after about May’s refusal to debate him

13. But the line of the night? This one from May on Brexit:

14. Would watch this

15. This kind of high profile set piece interview is perfect for visual gags

Straight out of The Thick of It.

16. This lad couldn’t handle it

17. There might have been some repetition

18. What a night
