LONDON (Labour Buzz) – A series of posters celebrating the vital work carried out by the UK’s key workers have been produced by graphic designers who are supporters of the Labour party.

The work was created and coordinated by a movement called, Labour Party Graphic Designers, an independent network of designers, and highlights the contribution of key workers such as bus drivers, health workers and delivery drivers with some pointing out the failures of the government.

The pack contained 18 original works and includes a foreword by comedian Frankie Boyle as well as words from the front line by Doctors in Unite.

“No worker should ever be exposed to Covid-19 through a simple lack of respirators, visors or gloves,” said Doctors in Unite. “A make-do-and-mend approach to personal protective equipment is dangerous nostalgia.”

Boyle, meanwhile, put it rather more bluntly: “It would have been nice if the British had realised delivery drivers, care workers and vegetable pickers were more useful than a meeting about advertising strategy without having to dig mass graves,” he said in his foreword.

Labour Party Graphic Designers is a new collective which came into being last year and was founded by Kevin Kennedy Ryan who came up with the idea to connect designers and creatives from the Labour movement.
