Published in 2016, this brilliant comic by artist Joe Dater somehow feels even more timely in 2023. #art
Well, here's something that will surprise absolutely no one with an operative brain cell!

“Again, I warn you:- not to be ordinary not to be young not to fall ill not to get old.” Very chilling and haunting words reflecting 13 years of Tory Government and yet some gullible muppets still support them, why….because they’re manipulated and brainwashed by the Sun, Express, Mail, Telegraph and BBC!

Brexit is costing £100billion each year! Workers are proving difficult to find yet Tories continue to suppress wages. This is ineptitude driven by dogma, #ToryMadness! #ToryLiars #ToryBrokenBritain

I have a dilemma over who should be the next Party Chairman. I can't decide whether it should be Fiona Bruce or Laura Kuenssberg.

@Robsterthermidor @Paulos_the_fog The BBC is a fantastic institution we should be proud of. Unfortunately the BBC News department is shockingly pro-establishment and needs a major revamp.

This is absurd. Woman goes into early labor, goes to an in-network hospital, but the doctors worked for an out of network hospital? So they parents are on the hook for $12K? RIDICULOUS.
Please shut up forever about how cool it is to "shop for your healthcare" LITERALLY NO ONE WANTS TO DO THAT. This is "shopping for your healthcare": being wheeled into the ER and having to check to make sure EVERY PERSON is in your network. Completely impractical and ridiculous.

@EugeneMcParland Twitter currently is allowing the Wagner Group to post a recruitment ad for Americans to go and fight for Wagner in Russia. Wagner commits war crimes in Ukraine. Throws bodies at the fight. Can you let your bigger following know please?

This is @Laura__Farris MP for Newbury. Despite her constituency having a high proportion of the world’s rare chalk streams, she voted for another 15 years of dumping sewage into rivers and onto beaches.

Did Richard Sharp give instructions that the Beeb news website lead on a Johnson story that came out of the same drawer as his ‘Brussels bans salt and vinegar crisps’ type stories?

This sudden Putin revelation has all the hallmarks of a pre-emptive strike at a massive Boris Johnson book deal. File it under "fiction". https://twitter.com/campbellclaret/status/1619949872928497665

Due to the fact that Johnson is a renowned liar, I find his claim about Putin threatening to kill him with a missile hard to believe.
No one can back up the claim and I get the impression that Johnson is using it as another attempt to fuel his misguided self belief that he is a brave statesman, who is putting himself on the front line for the sake of the country.
Everything he says is said to try to benefit himself and the public's perception of him.
