Twitter reacts to Javid's comment
Javid was travelling to Sunderland along with his cabinet colleagues Dominic Raab and Liz Truss on the day the United Kingdom left the European Union. Javid was mercilessly trolled because the phrase 'north England' is not used by people in the North of England. Javid is being trolled for his blatant disregard for British geography. Javid had previously served as the Home Secretary under Theresa May's government and is currently the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Boris Johnson's cabinet.
