Why people are tweeting #enemiesofthepeople

Daily Mail front cover, 4 November 2016

People are using the hashtag #enemiesofthepeople on Twitter a lot today, but why?

It's because newspapers have reacted to a High Court ruling that means Parliament must vote on whether the UK can start the process of leaving the EU.

There will be an appeal, but for now the decision means the government can't trigger Article 50 - beginning exit negotiations with the EU - without the support of MPs.

The cover of the Daily Mail shows three judges with the headline "Enemies of the People".

As ever, social media is both angry and amused.

Users have responded with their own ideas of who they think are the #enemiesofthepeople...
