The Best UK Fanpage Posts

May’s top performing post was made by Leicester City Football Club, who have been on a role as of late in both the football and social media fields. After winning a victory in the Premier League, they made a photo post announcing themselves as the “Champions of England” garnered them a massive amount of interactions, more than 4 times that of the running up post. That post was made by Jeremy Corbyn, who received a ton of engagement once again my attacking David Cameron and the actions of the Tories. The following top posts were made by England Football Team about EURO 2016, Tottenham Hotspur, who humbly congratulated Leicester for their victory, and Deus Ex, who posted a captivating trailer for their upcoming video game.
