S&M or M&S? Here are the funniest Autumn Statement tweets

It hardly broke the internet, but this year’s Autumn Statement produced some amusing tweets.

From Cameron’s maso-sadism to Danny Alexander’s drooping head, it’s all here:

The sound of people cheering something they do not understand and cannot yet verify.

I will never be able to look at M&S the same way ever again. Thanks, Mr Cameron. #masosadism

That #as2014 in brief: everything is awesome, except where it isn’t, which must be Abroad’s fault. Buy a house. Please please buy a house.

Stop heckling, you stupid bunch of excitable children. It’s the sodding #AutumnStatement, not a school trip to Alton Towers

Air passenger duty to be abolished for children. Smashing news for hungry, wheezing kids living in damp flats in Blackpool #AutumnStatement

Watching Osborne deliver the #AutumnStatement. One can see he’s talking but all one can hear is “blah blah blah blah blah” #Whatevs
