Political billboards have popped up across the UK, from Glasgow to Dover, thanks to anti-Brexit group Led By Donkeys.

Each board is emblazoned with a quote from a politician or public figure, taken from past speeches, interviews and social media.

The four friends behind the popular campaign ”wanted to highlight the hypocrisy” of politicians engaging in the Brexit debate, according to the group’s crowdfunding page.

“This Brexit chaos is founded on the forgotten lies of our leaders,” the page says.

“Let’s remind the country of them with giant billboards.”

Twitter/Led By Donkeys Brexit billboards: Campaigners remind MPs of past promises Jacob Rees-Mogg, a prominent backbencher, does not support a second Brexit referendum. He has called the use of this quote "fundamentally dishonest" as it was taken from a 2011 speech discussing the option of referendum before David Cameron entered negotiations with the EU. Such a vote was never held. Twitter/Led By Donkeys

One example, in Dover, reads: “The Free Trade Agreement that we will do with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history.”

The quote is attributed to Liam Fox, currently minister for International Trade.

A second board, in London, is emblazoned with David Cameron’s promise in 2015 to bring “stability and strong government” to the UK.

He resigned just over a year later, after the EU referendum result became clear.

Although the quotes are from a range of sources, they are presented as tweets on the billboards.
