Wasting money on feeding children that could be better used to bomb children. Typical lefties.

Reacting to Labour's devastating loss to the Green Party in Gorton and Denton, Keir Starmer claims that only Labour can unite communities. I agree. He convinced Muslims to vote for a white working class woman representing a party led by a gay Jewish man.

You mean to tell me that after a year and a half of being shat on by the Labour leadership, left wing voters decided to give someone else a go? Labourโ€™s โ€œitโ€™s us or reformโ€ message didnโ€™t work because theyโ€™ve echoed Reformโ€™s rhetoric since taking power?

Well I never. Who could have seen this coming

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels, each showing a different scene. In addition, thereโ€™s a small โ€œkickerโ€ panel under the fourth panel.

PANEL 1

The panel shows a counter at a fast food restaurant. We can see a couple of customers, and a couple of workers. The workers are wearing hats that very vaguely resemble hamburger buns. A sign on the wall shows a smiling hamburger with eyes, below the caption โ€œSoilent Green YUM.โ€ A smaller sign says โ€œSAFETYโ€ in larger letters followed by tiny print, which says โ€œis a word we use a lot so you canโ€™t sue us.โ€

The worker at the cash register is turning to speak directly to the reader.

WORKER: To get an official photo I.D., I have to go to the nearest government office, which is 90 miles away, and I donโ€™t have a car, and even if I did my boss wonโ€™t give me a weekday off.

PANEL 2

Weโ€™re in what looks like someoneโ€™s back yard. In the foreground is a garden, with some sort of plant being grown in tidy rows. An elderly woman is kneeling on the ground in front of the garden, wearing a floppy straw hat, an apron with a floral patter, and holding a trowel. She speaks directly to the reader.

WOMAN: I canโ€™t get I.D. without a birth certificate. But when I was born home births didnโ€™t get birth certificates.

PANEL 3

A mover wearing jeans and a black tank top is carrying a sofa as heโ€™s talking to the reader. 
MOVER: The state charges $60 for a driverโ€™s licenseโ€ฆ. but first Iโ€™d need a copy of my birth certificate, which is $30. I canโ€™t afford 90 dollars to vote!

PANEL 4

This panel shows the interior of a coffee shop. A man and a woman sit together at a table. They're both looking at their devices, him annoyed, her dismissive.
MAN: Why wouldnโ€™t anyone be able to get an I.D.? Idiots!
WOMAN: People like that donโ€™t deserve to vote.

SMALL KICKER PANEL UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE CARTOON

MAN: If itโ€™s easy for me it must be easy for everybody! Thatโ€™s just science!

I'd rather keep the pound myself but imagine the outrage from the cash only gammons if we rejoin the EU and they have to spend Euros in Spoons.

No political interview or debate should be aired live. They should all be fact-checked by agreed impartial bodies and then edited accordingly to remove any falsehoods. Gave an hour long interview and only 5 minutes made it to air? That's on you.

that same logo in its original blue and red colours, which happens to be the literal flag of the British Union of Fascists

Top tip: to avoid having the British Union of Fascists logo on the side of your mock-up train, don't use horrible text-to-image AI slop instead of actual designers and artists.

I think turning all the water in your opponentโ€™s body into wine would probably wreak some kinda havocโ€ฆ especially if he could control the ABV. Port maybe the most gentlemanly way to bump someone off this wayโ€ฆ though doubtfully something Jesus would do.
