Marf on the pressures piling on to Dave
This is how Marf describes her drawing:-
In the cartoon, Cameron’s been struggling to rewrite the Queen’s Speech all night …. With Europe, Greece and France swinging to left and hovering in a sinister way, and Boris and Nick Clegg (the cat wearing the yellow tie) staring, taunting. Honestly it couldn’t be the easiest time for Cameron. I have him dressed as an eighteenth-century gentleman because his Bullingdon dress still evokes so much about his character and outlook – hard to forget that wonderful photo. So I kept the eighteenth-century clothes in the original Goya, because it practically matched the Bullingdon tailored suits the young men are wearing – and their vanity and privilege. Anyway, I tried to sum up the Tory crisis as best I could, but with sympathy …. It’s a difficult time and we all seem to be clashing and not agreeing … It’s led to such a feeling of paralysis in this country. The economy’s just part of the story, isn’t it? I left Osborne out because he’s a friend to Cameron, an ally, and this is about demons.
