There might be some problems with the Conservatives new election poster
The Conservatives unveiled a new election poster today (borrowing from their 1992 campaign, because the ’90s and bombs are back in fashion now). Here’s the poster…
And here’s Brexit secretary David Davis standing in front of it…

Seems Davis missed the episode of The Thick Of It which shows why it’s a bad idea for politicians to stand in front of big signs.

…Ed Balls
…Nigel Farage
…David Cameron
…and Jeremy Corbyn.
