How do you sum up Brexit in one image? That was the challenge set to the Evening Standard’s cartoonist Christian Adams.

 

To achieve it, he has delved into the archives, to take inspiration from one of the greatest illustrators in all newspaper history, Sir David Low and his iconic wartime ‘Very Well, Alone’ picture .

 

This episode of the Leader follows Christian’s journey from sketch to publication, and includes analysis of the UK’s historic last day inside the European Union from our political editor Joe Murphy and comment editor Susannah Butter
