Description
Depicts 4 political figures under speech bubbles and surrounded by accessories relevant to their supposed characters in the political narrative.

This banner, showing then Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May alongside then Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, and shadow Home Secretary Dianne Abbott, implies that May is committing treason and supporting the Labour Party's ambitions through her Brexit policies. Corbyn is depicted as pro-terrorism and ready to 'nuke Israel' surrounded by items labelled with Palestinian and Irish organisations understood as terrorist groups in the UK, McDonnell is dressed as stereotype of a Chinese Communist party member clutching books by Mao and Marx, and Abbott is depicted in a racist caricature, holding a calculator and talking about being unable to count.

Underneath are the words “Treason May Out!” and “A Tory Brexiteer PM and General Election ASAP!”. May's departure and a pro-Brexit PM are ticked as 'done' with the General Election 'to do'. This banner has been annotated with black permanent marker and reused, to indicate demands that have been achieved and those still campaigned for.
