They're wonderfully ironic and all, but wouldn't it make more sense to put them in pro-Leave areas rather than strongly pro-Remain London ? This seems to be a common mistake : simply preaching to the choir, trying to strengthen existing support rather than win new converts. Making Remainers believe even more strongly won't help - what's needed is to win the other side over.
I would also suggest making them even more explicit, contrasting the then-and-now statements of the Brexiteers and pointing out how unprincipled they are. The character of the Brexiteers as over-privileged idiots needs to be exposed. People in deprived, austerity-hit areas ought to be shown the inconsistencies of those who are claiming to represent them (as well as making a more positive case for the EU, of course).

I started thinking about who I actually liked at all in current British politics and came up dry. So then I started thinking about a kind of fantasy football team - who would I import from anywhere in the world to take over from May? - and then I realised all the politicians I held any respect for were dead.

Could she lead Britain please?
