Calmer chameleon

"Sterling bounces as PM May says will provide 'calm leadership'" it says here.

So I guess the Tories will just keep calm and carry on doing what they've been doing. Denouncing the idea of an energy price cap as madness from a Marxist universe, before promising us an energy price cap, claiming to be too busy with the serious business of delivering Brexit to do anything irresponsible like calling a snap election, then calling one, then telling everybody they were "not prepared" for the snap election they'd cunningly tried to surprise their opponents with, pledging to withdraw from the European Court of Justice, then saying we're staying in for the duration of the next parliament, saying they'll let student tuition fees increase in 2016, then promising to freeze them in 2017, overseeing a massive slump in social housing, then promising a new generation of council houses, trying to make older people use their property to fund their social care, then dropping the policy, then claiming that nothing had changed...

As calm as a chameleon trying to colour match a flashing disco floor...
