July
| MAY out |
| JOHNSON in |
| The whole summer recess to announce whatever he likes, unchallenged by Parliament |
August
| WE ARE LEAVING THE EU ON 31 OCTOBER |
| DO | DIE |
| (repeat daily) |
| MORE MONEY FOR |
| THE NHS | THE POLICE | SCHOOLS | EVERYONE |
| (honest) |
| BREXIT | NO BREXIT |
| ON 31 OCT | AFTER 31 OCT |
| WITHOUT A DEAL | WITH A DEAL |
| Boris will only accept this | |
| Nigel will only accept this | The opposition coalition
will only accept this |
| Many dream of this | Few dream of this | Many dream of this |
September/October
| Government | Parliament |
| NO DEAL! NO DEAL! | WE WILL STOP YOU! |
| OH NO YOU WON'T! | OH YES WE WILL! |
| Ha ha! Prorogation! | OH NO YOU DON'T! |
| OH NO YOU DON'T! | Ha ha! Vote you down! |
| Ha ha! Election! | OH NO YOU DON'T! |
| OH NO YOU DON'T! | Ha ha! Legal challenge! |
| NO DEAL! NO DEAL! | WE WILL STOP YOU! |
| OH NO YOU WON'T! | OH YES WE WILL! |
| OH BUGGER! | or... OH BUGGER! |
| WHAT WE NEED IS AN ELECTION! | THE LAST THING WE NEED IS AN ELECTION! |
| Opposition's split | Nigel's skewered | Total distraction | Not another one! |
| Corbyn's a liability | No parliament for 5 weeks | Sterling will tank | PM could lose his seat |
| Could easily get a majority | It'd be totally hung again |
| Pick a date... |
| OCT 17 | OCT 24 | OCT 31 | NOVEMBER |
| Much too quick | Almost too quick | Better hurry | No rush |
| Same day as EU Summit | Gets MPs out of the way | Symbolic but impotent | Too late,
it's all over |
| Pre-deadline optimism | Reality
kicking in | Panic buying underway | Full-on shortages |
| Tory landslide | 5 more years! | Might wing it | Blown it |
| (...but the Fixed-term Parliaments Act says 'No') |
November
| Perhaps | Maybe | Alternatively |
| Sunlit uplands | Chaos | Here we go again |
| Control | Subservience | More of the same |
| Neoliberalism | Austerity | Endless uncertainty |
| Freedom | Irrelevance | Until next time |
