The artist’s works criticising the ruling party and its political programme popped up in London.
Works of Jeremy Deller, one of the brightest contemporary British artist, were spotted in London streets. They are minimalistic-looking white posters with the words “Strong and stable my arse”, which is a reference to PM Theresa May’s election slogan.

The posters were seen on walls in various parts of London. Social media users post photos of Deller’s works spotted in Soho, Peckham and Kentish town. Graffiti with the same slogan and a portrait of Theresa May also appeared in the capital. British magazine Dazed reports that the campaign was a result of Jeremy’s collaboration with the FlyingLeaps street art project. Other people involved in the campaign are artists Michael Peel, Carrie Reichardt, Bob Osborne and poet Robert Montgomery.
