THE government is facing a crisis as Phillip Lee quit the conservatives and joined the Liberal Democrats in a "shock" decision.
Bracknell MP Dr Phillip Lee has caused quite the drama today as he stepped across Parliament to join the opposing party, thus causing chaos in parliament.
However, many people on Twitter took the opportunity to poke fun at the MP comparing him as a WWE wrestler as he walked over to the party and stirring up drama like in Gavin and Stacey.
Here, we take the opportunity to look at the funniest reactions we have spotted.
