The leader of France's far-right Front National party renewed calls she has previously made for her country to exit the crumbling Brussels-based bloc. On Twitter the Eurosceptic politician said: “The promised apocalypse has not come #Brexit.” Many of her followers said Frexit would be a certainty if Ms Le Pen became France's next president.

One tweeter said: "Exactly, go France. Frexit!” The far-right French politician cited an article by French newspaper Le Figaro which explained how the British economy has not been heavily impacted by the Brexit vote.

In the article, an analyst at the financial services company Hargreaves Lansdown said: “Up until now, the Brexit vote has not affected the economy. It is still early but it is clear that there has not been too much of a confidence loss, either for consumers or businesses.” In the Le Figaro piece, UniCredit economist Daniel Vernazza added: “The majority of people who voted to leave the EU did not think that the result would ruin the economy so they have not reduced their spending in the short term.”
