No need to go overboard! The new Private Eye is out now.

Liz Webster The fact that this is a thing means these people should be nowhere near power

👹 Michael Gove exposed how Tories enjoy their sadistic cruel policies at yesterday’s cabinet meeting.

👺 He invoked supermodel Kate Moss to warn right-wing Tories against “comfort eating” on hard-line policies “that make us feel good about ourselves.”

👿 The club-lover added:…

Robert Jenrick is all over the media today pitching a ‘30-point plan’ to ‘fix’ the immigration system.

You might remember Robert Jenrick. As immigration minister, he did stuff like this 👇

A man who had to repeatedly resign for corruption, who remained friendly with notorious paedophile Epstein even after he was jailed, and who was named as recently as 2020 as Putin's go-to man in London for the oligarchs, thinks the Green Party are becoming a dustbin!

An incisive, much-needed, dose of reality and leadership here from Justine Greening:

Ruth Perry’s sister, Julia Waters, is an amazing person. Julia gave the most incredible interview, broadcast today, on BBC Radio Berkshire. It really is worth your time, although a very hard listen…
