TOON TUESDAY #50

Labour's austerity measures have come in for some attention from left-leaning cartoonists, with Reeves and Starmer being likened to the Cameron-Osborne partnership that delivered five years of cuts.  The influence of Elon Musk's DOGE is clear to see from the language on display: "We need to make government more efficient" declared Starmer on Monday.  Civil Service cuts may be one thing, but the Labour leader is whipping up a storm in his own party when it comes to benefit cuts.  A forthcoming rebellion is likely to extend beyond the usual suspects of the Socialist Campaign Group of MPs.
