TOON TUESDAY #100

We return after a short break, with our 100th edition of Toon Tuesday.  As it's such a milestone, we've selected some of our favourite toons from the last 99 editions.

If there's one thing that Starmer is good at, it's u-turns.  Sometimes he u-turns on
the u-turns and it all gets terribly confusing.

Ben Jennings (Guardian) 12 February 2026
Back in the 1990s John Major was depicted as a grey-faced dullard.  Starmer is
so dull he would make Gordon Brown look like the life and soul of any party.

Ella Baron (Guardian) 11 February 2026
The Last Supper or the assassination of Julius Caesar?  The vultures smell blood,
but who will be the Judas Iscariot or Casca among this treacherous lot?

Patrick Blower (Daily Telegraph) 7 January 2026
As Starmer and his band of traitors attempt to shrink our strategic territories and
influence, others seek to expand.  Perfectly illustrated here.

Andy Davey (Telegraph) 2 January 2026
May is just around the corner now and it looks set to be the end of Starmer.

The economic expertise of Red Rachel depicted perfectly.

From the home of CNN, this American cartoon speaks volumes of how the Beeb
is seen Stateside.  Worse than CNN though?

Peter Brookes (Times) 27 October 2025
Two time losing leadership candidate Andy Burnham has many faces and he
desperately wants to make it third time lucky.  Not going to be.

Christian Adams (Daily Telegraph) 28 September 2025
Labour were in Liverpool for their party conference yet again, cue Beatles
reference.

Morten Morland (Times) 23 September 2025
Political start-ups will one day look to Fruit and Nut as the quintessential
lesson in how NOT to start a party.  Corbyn's lesson will be thus - don't bank on a
youthful admirer as a reliable co-founder.

Dave Brown (Independent) 11 September 2025
The Mandelson affair has been rumbling on for months, but the bigger story
dates back decades and there is simply no way the PM and his cronies didn't
know about it.

Ivan Ehlers (Instagram) 27 July 2025
Police raids over social media posts is a prime example of how far
the state has sunk into authoritarianism.  It's only going to get worse
if we allow them to impose a digital ID.

Peter Brookes (The Times) 14 July 2025
Outstanding satire, just not sure about the depiction of Ed Miliband here
(looks more like Bibi Netanyahu).  Perhaps Brookes should stick to his famous
depictions of Ed as Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.

Dave Simonds (Instagram) 29 June 2025
The flat-pack PM probably has more charisma than the real thing, too!

Jimbob (X) 18 April 2025
US conservative Jimbob may not be the best technical artist, but his cartoons
sure do pack a punch.

Dave Brown (Independent) 28 March 2025
Their snouts were deep in the trough almost as soon as Starmer and Reeves got
into power.  Nice touch with the red box acting as her purse.

George Alexopoulos (Instagram) 4 March 2025
The great replacement is a 'conspiracy theory' we are told by our globalist masters,
despite all the evidence of our own eyes to the contrary.  Thankfully, the
sabre-rattling scare tactics of the warmongers hasn't come to much, yet.

Matt Pritchett (Sunday Telegraph) 23 February 2025
We couldn't make a compilation without any input from Matt and narrowing it
down to this one entry was mighty difficult.

Graeme Bandeira (Northern Agenda) 21 February 2025
Wallace and Gromit meet the economic shortcomings of Red Rachel.

Patrick Blower (Daily Telegraph) 27 January 2025
An excellent depiction of how economic growth and net zero are diametrically
opposed.  Of course we all know that Western governments will always opt for net
zero over prosperity.

Patrick Blower (Telegraph) 25 November 2024
Blower revisited this concept recently with an Iranian version, but this original
Russian version hit the spot just fine.

Patrick Blower (Telegraph) 2 October 2024
The party of the workers no more!

MEME MONDAY #80

Keir Starmer was very much the focus of the output last week and looks set to remain so as the clock ticks down to his inevitable demise as PM.  The rent boy trial begins today, albeit with a total news blackout that only proves that our suspicions were right all along.  Starmer is a wrong 'un and he's going to pay a very big price after his party's May 7th disaster unfolds...

BOATWATCH #56

The busiest week of the year was followed last week by one of the quietest, with just two boats being picked up all week - both on Saturday.  More than 6,000 colonists have been ferried to our shores so far this year.

Total = 122 (down 819 from previous week)

COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 23.04.26

Just the one by-election took place on Thursday, with another having been held on Wednesday.  Reform were defending Thursday's vacancy, the third week in a row they have been on the defence.  However, this time it is not a resignation - the incumbent tragically died from a brain tumour at the age of just 46.  The late Cllr Kevin Towill defected from the Conservatives prior to last year's local elections and gained the seat at the expense of his old party, who were pushed into third.

We expected a Reform hold here, but there was a surprisingly strong challenge from the Greens who came from nowhere to claim second place with almost a quarter of the vote.  Labour should be as deeply concerned about the rise of the Greens to their left as they are about Reform to their right.  With both insurgent parties set to pincer Labour in May, there is every likelihood that the Greens will win more council seats than Labour and - more worryingly for Labour - there is an outside chance Polanski's crazy gang could push Labour into fourth in both the Senedd and the Scottish Parliament.

We are currently witnessing the final weeks of Starmer's premiership, with a resignation likely in May.  If the scale of the electoral disaster is such, he will resign the morning after.  If he opts to cling on a wee bit longer, he will be forced out by cabinet resignations and a total collapse in PLP support.  Labour MPs and potential successors are now merely counting down the days.

Ref HOLD

Wednesday's by-election was also triggered by the death of an incumbent, the 81-year-old Labour councillor having passed away due to old age.  This was an exceptionally strong Labour ward, with the party having won here in 2024 by more than 1,200 votes.  Despite this, we predicted a Green gain, but defeat to anyone here would have been indicative of the massive scale of Labour's looming electoral disaster in May.  Labour have controlled Salford since its inception as a metropolitan borough in 1974.

As it turned out, this previously solid left-wing ward opted for Reform with a huge swing from Labour.  We predicted that Labour would haemorrhage votes to both the Greens and Reform, but the swing was almost exclusively towards Reform.  The Greens slumped from second to third and ended up with less votes than they received in 2024, while a hard left independent endorsed by Your Party finished last.  The Greens only increased their vote share courtesy of Labour's almost 30 point dip against a low turnout.

This was a devastating result for Labour, but another first for Reform as they added their first Salford council seat.

There is now just one more council by-election before the May elections.

EJECTED FROM THE HOUSE OF LIES

Zarah Sultana and Lee Anderson would normally hold each other in the utmost of contempt, but on Monday the Commons watched as both of them were removed from the chamber for accusing the PM of lying.  It's a rare occasion in itself for one MP to be ordered out, but one after the other in the same sitting is almost unheard of.

MPs were responding to a statement from Keir Starmer in relation to the Mandelson scandal, in which he pointed the finger of blame at the Foreign Office and continued to deny any wrongdoing.  Reform's Lee Anderson told the PM that 'no-one believed him' and accused him of 'lying'.  Starmer stood hesitantly, while looking towards the Speaker, but Lindsay Hoyle was slow to react.  Eventually, Lindsay Hoyle interjected and told Anderson that 'we don't use those words' and asked him to withdraw his accusation.  In true Anderson style, the Ashfield MP doubled down and refused, adding: "That man couldn't lie straight in bed".

The Speaker then ordered Anderson out of the chamber.  Watch the exchange below.

A short while later the chamber was treated to the juvenile screeching of Your Party's Zarah Sultana.  Sultana's prepared statement accused Starmer of 'gaslighting the nation', before she accused him of being a 'bare-faced liar'.  She appeared to be about to demand his resignation when her microphone was cut and the Speaker interrupted.  On this occasion Hoyle was clearly upset and immediately demanded her departure.  With her microphone cut, her protestations about 'serving the interests of her constituents' was barely audible, but did nothing to placate Hoyle's ire.

Hoyle gave her multiple opportunities to comply, but like Anderson she doubled down and could be heard saying: "The Prime Minister is a liar".  However, whereas Anderson duly left the chamber, Sultana's repeated refusal led to her being 'named' by the Speaker.  This process means that Sultana is now suspended from the Commons for a period of several days (usually five), during which her salary is also put on hold.

As her statement appeared to be written in advance, this was probably a pre-conceived publicity stunt that Anderson had unwittingly usurped by being ejected first.  Whether or not she had initially intended to push the Speaker so far is not clear, but with Anderson having left in such a dignified manner, she may have wished to up the ante for maximum attention.

Watch the exchange below.

It never ceases to amaze how such a setting - frequented by hundreds of professional liars - can have such a process in place that punishes those who accuse colleagues of lying!

MEME MONDAY #79

It was a fairly quiet week for Karl, but things will pick up again soon.  The demise of Keir Starmer's premiership draws ever closer and Karl may well want to dispose of as many Starmer memes as possible.

BOATWATCH #55

It was the busiest week of the year to date, with a bumper set of arrivals on Saturday.  These numbers are more in line with recent years, coming after several relatively sparse weeks.  An uptick in arrivals as we head towards the May elections will do Starmer no favours when it comes to the scale of Labour's crushing defeat.  Why have several Prime Ministers failed to stop the boats?  They weren't meant to.

Total = 941 (up 571 from last week)
