Labour Party members have been taking the scissors to their membership cards and posting them to social media after the party leadership endorsed a pro-Brexit manifesto.

Twitter user Alastair Macphail posted a picture of his chopped-up card saying: ‘I’m done! Can’t take this gaslighting any more,’ and copied the Labour Party in.
Others soon joined in.
‘Bye Felicia (Jeremy)’, said Twitter user Dave Nash, posting a video of his membership card going into a shredder.
Jeremy Corbyn has faced protests since the party’s ruling National Executive Committee agreed to a pro-Brexit manifesto.

After the news of the manifesto broke, Twitter user Beverley Davies said: ‘Just cancelled my direct debit. Had enough after today.
‘I have supported Labour all my life but not now.’
I'm done! Can't stand this gaslighting any more! @UKLabour is insulting our intelligence with its inane Brexit policy. #LabourMeansLeave

Me too. I was General Election Agent in 97. I support many of Corbyn's policies (taking rail/utilities back), but he'd now spend all of his time as PM (if he made it) mitigating the economic disaster of Brexit.
