Simply 17 funny tweets about Mark Francois to make your day better

A few months ago it’s safe to assume you probably hadn’t heard of Mark Francois, unless the arch Brexiter and ERG member happened to be your MP, of course, and even then it’s not a given.

Now his outraged rants on Brexit – and penchant for the sort of soundbites that telly types love – mean the Tory MP and former Territorial Army man is all over the news right now.

The Conservative Party has gone full UKIP – and Mark Francois is the new poster boy of this transformation.pic.twitter.com/IYR98e0Gfd

So naturally he’s generated no end of comments on Twitter, of which these might be our favourites.

Mark Francois is under the mistaken impression that he’s Jesus, presumably because every time he speaks someone yells “Oh Christ, please will you shut up” https://t.co/1wxzWiO9FR

Just turned on breakfast news half way through a feature on a new Pixar film about a furious toby jug that comes to life and can’t find its way back to a mythical kingdom and then I realised it was just Mark Francois interview.

No one knew Mark Francois a few months ago. He became famous when he tore up the withdrawal agreement and spluttered a bunch of dimwitted nonsense. We are rewarding people for being morons and wondering why we're fucked as a country. https://t.co/FnDEjtX7VF

Anybody checked the torrent of water flooding through Parliament’s roof isn’t the tears of lachrymose Brextremist evangelist Mark Francois as he nails himself to his Little Englander cross?

Mark Francois is a human fart. A shaved Penfold with bedwetting issues. A blustering pub bore puffball. A sweating estate agent with short man syndrome. A semi-sentient gammon joint. A pig that's run squealing into TM Lewin's washing line. A horse penis with a face drawn on it

There are nonentities and then there below is Mark Francois. A classic big little man. " I was in the army". Put a pith helmet on him and he's a poundshop Don Estelle tribute act.

In Brussles they are learning the name Mark Francois and scratching their head: “at least he didn’t go to Eton”, one official said.
