"First they came for women's rights, and we were like NOPE. Then Theresa May held his fucking hand and we were like WTF THERESA NO. And then they came for the Muslims and we were like EVEN MORE NO. Let's just assume it's always fucking no," reads the illustration.

This isn't the first time Dearly's illustrations have touched on politics. She recently created a series of illustrations about the Women's March.

"In the current climate I'm keen to create work that strikes a chord with people and articulates how a lot of people are feeling, but at the same time cut through the misery a little bit with some topical humour where possible," explains Dearly.

She created a particularly apt illustration following Piers Morgan's attempts to organise a "Men's March" and his comments that those attending the Women's March "rabid feminists."

"I have always included political themes such as feminism in my illustrations, but when the EU referendum came around I decided to really go big or go home on it and see what the response was," says Dearly.

The response to her illustrations has been largely positive, despite some negativity.

"I often take a little bit of stick on Twitter but I'm always happy to be challenged and it's interesting to hear alternative points of view," says Dearly. "Sometimes I feel quite exposed but on the whole it's really, *really* helped me connect with my audience who are on the whole like-minded," she continued.
