The hashtag got 7,696 tweets.

One user posted a picture of Boris Johnson and wrote: "He lied about hospitals, nurses, Brexit being done, fact checking, economy, a 4-year-old in A&E, Russia report, selling NHS; he stole a phone, hid in a fridge, hid from Andrew Neil, lied to the Queen, even lied about lying. And still might win."

Another user retweeted the post and wrote: "Yes, this is hard to believe. Vote the Tories out."

One user wrote; "I work at Burger King and Boris Johnson just walked in. He said 'give me two Whoppers'. I said 'Everyone thinks you're an amazing bloke and you'll make a great Prime Minister'."

One post read: "In all my years, I've never seen a queue at the polling station like I did today... so many young folks and people from diverse backgrounds it made me so happy. We live in difficult times, but it's galvanising people into action."

One user remarked: "I just did something that I never thought I'd do... I voted in the UK election".

Another commented: "I'm not arrogant enough to tell you who you should vote for. Vote for whoever you think will do the best job, or you can just abstain... Good luck out there."
