LONDON -- In the world of UK politics, there are few burns quite as fiery as the 404 error page burn.

The Liberal Democrats know this well. They already have strong form when it comes to 404 pages -- although they didn't do all too well politically in the 2015 general election, they were probably the unofficial winners of "best UK political party 404 error page" contest -- and now they've gone and done it again.

To tie in with Theresa May become Britain's new prime minister on Wednesday (following David Cameron's resignation), the Lib Dems have updated their error page accordingly.

Ouch.

We did a sweep of the other major political parties, but sadly there were no other pun-filled 404 pages at the time of writing.

Up your game, Labour.
