Colours, shapes and lines determined by the text of today’s guardian headline article.

Done in #Rstats

The caption is today's headline from The Guardian:[www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/23/partygate-photos-bo...](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/23/partygate-photos-boris-johnson-dominic-cummings-lockdown-breaches-sue-gray-report)
