Too many words. If you need to fill the panels with monologue, you're doing it wrong.

If you're going to do a cartoon about Larry at least try and make him look vaguely like Larry.

And if you are drawing Lammy don't just stick on some big lips and think that'll do. That is Paul Thomas territory.

Why does Angela Raynor have a huge orang utan arm?

[Andy McDandy]

And why is she speaking with an Estuarine inflection?

[Crabcakes]

Good work, Stella. This hardening of guidance on refugees is a bad decision, presumably designed to appeal to people who will never vote Labour anyway, and needs amending.

You can’t out Farage Farage because he’ll always go lower. All it does is push away the rest of us.

[Abernathy]

Hear, hear. This is pointless and wrong.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Yep. Apparently a UQ on this.

Chucking out people with no legal right to be here is one thing. Stopping people perfectly entitled to be hear from becoming citizens is something quite different.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Lots of this stuff from sane people: . When did Labour "bow to international tax avoidance groups"? Why is raising employers' NI "atrocious"?

He makes the point this is a gift to Ed Davey who can say "they took away your WFA for this". I think it's probably unlikely Ed Davey runs against spending money on deporting people too, though he'll probably oppose barring refugees from citizenship. In any case, Ed Davey's opposed tax on very expensive farms and school fees.

UQ denied.

Very disappointing.

[Tubby Isaacs]

It is.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Yep. This'll get the usual "why can we afford bombs?" bollocks but it's the right thing to do.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

There's a narrative there, if ever we could get a fair hearing, that the Tories cut the size of the state (via cutting taxes especially for the wealthy) to the point that many of the state's most serious responsibilities were unsustainable, and now we have to put that right.

That would work for the NHS as well as defence.

[1 typo eliminated]

[Tubby Isaacs]

The trouble is that there's a big chunk of people, like there were back in the 70s80s who don't think that Defence is a core function of the state.

I've seen better cartoons that have been drawn by colour blind hedgehogs.

Don't care about how some of you hate the cartoon. I find it very funny, and more crucially, to the point.

[NevTheSweeper]

Labour has a combs problem, eh?

I told Keir he needed a new hairbrush.

Sorry, I meant, "comms".

[NevTheSweeper]

Meanwhile the cost of living continues to infect the length and breadth of Britain. One wonders why many people want real fascism as opposed to Labour's fake fascism. The far right are on the march because Labour are failing to deliver transformative change to the country.

Do you drive a taxi or cut hair?

No.

[NevTheSweeper]

Also what is this fake fascism that Starmer is practicing? Does the rentier's bill fall under this umbrella?

I see you haven't seen TV pictures of asylum seekers being put on flights, have you?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Famously no country ever deports people with no right to be in the country.

I find it interesting how you accuse Labour of fake fascism and yet you find a cartoon that is right-wing very funny. It's almost as if you're a tedious troll.

As Tubbs has pointed out other countries do this as well. So no it isn't fake fascism.

Honestly I tend to find that people on Bluesky are a lot more hostile to the government than I had hoped.
