15 January 2019 - Cubist version of the Brexit Vote

  "Like so many of us I am trying to see the funny and absurd (no lack of the latter) side in the side-issue of Brexit (they fiddle while we are watching the climate changes... )

  The attached sketch was inspired by a piece of whimsy quoted in The Herald of Monday 14 January 2019 in Ken Smith's "The Diary" column on page 13 and attributed to a reader called Tony Cowards who declares "Just having a vote on whether Picasso was the best portrait artist of all time. 'So, eyes to the right, nose to the left'.

  With the "significant" vote later today, it seemed topical."

On 15 January 2019 the House of Commons of the UK Parliament debated what was called a "significant vote". An overwhelming majority of Members of Parliament voted not to accept Prime Minister Theresa May's proposed deal for the UK to leave the European Union.

  The following day, 16 January 2019, Members of Parliament voted by a narrow majority expressing confidence in Theresa May as Prime Minister.
