A photo of the front cover of issue 1668 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption β€œon shelves now.” The main cover line reads β€œLORD MANDELSON IN DISGRACE.” The central image shows a blurred, photograph of a Mandelson standing indoors wearing a T-shirt and underwear, holding a folder. Surrounding the image are multiple speech bubbles, including: β€œI’ve let myself down, my party down and my trousers down,” β€œHe’s going to pay for this – which makes a change!”, β€œTalk about a cheques offender!”, β€œHe will need some decent briefs!”, β€œTime to strip him of his title as well!”, β€œOh no! He’s into M&S!” and β€œCan we have a cover up, please!”

A photo of the front cover of issue 1667 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption β€œon shelves now.” The main cover line reads β€œAMERICAN AGGRESSION – GREENLANDERS SPEAK OUT.” The central image shows two polar bears standing upright on snowy ground, facing each other. Speech bubbles add commentary: one bear says, β€œTrump’s most dangerous when he’s cornered and hungry,” while the other replies, β€œAnd we thought global warming was our biggest threat!” A strapline beneath the image reads, β€œPRIVATE EYE’S DEFIANT MESSAGE: β€˜WE ARE FOR SALE – JUST Β£2.99!’”

Hunger in the UK ISN’T about a lack of food.
- It’s about people not having enough money to survive
- It’s about a lack of affordable housing
- It’s about low wages
- It’s about a weak social security system

"Perhaps the mission of the university is to train social poets, men and women who, upon learning the grammar and vocabulary of humanity, have a spark, a brilliance that allows them to imagine the unknown”
