  • Cartoon of Boris Johnson losing control

    Boris Johnson control government cliff edge cartoon

    Cartoon showing Boris Johnson losing control of the country and the government

    Prime Minister Boris Johnson sitting in a go-cart hurtling over the edge of a cliff.
    Johnson is holding a steering wheel as though he is steering the cart, but the steering wheel isn’t attached.
    He is sounding very optimistic and up-beat all the same. Delusional optimism.
    The cartoon plays on Boris Johnson’s jokey, boyish, playful personna.

    Original (Brexit) version drawn: March 2017
    This version drawn: 2nd July 2020
