It has all the superfluous captions and lame visual gags of a Ben Garrison cartoon, but without any of his artistic talent. All four caricatures are bad but by far the worst is Corbyn, how long has he had to practice drawing him now?

xpAll right, listen. The Starmer’s an infiltration unit: part man, part machine. Underneath, it's a hyperrightwing ex-DPP, Labour First-controlled. Fully legitimate; very tough. But outside, it's leftish views and issues: unions, gays, tax - grown for the soft left.

wouldn't it make more sense for a bolsonaro saw to have overheated or got stuck or something before it has severed the trunk of a brazil tree? still wouldn't be good but maybe a bit less nonsensical

some of the others try and fail for depth but his stuff seems so surface that it actually hurts the point he wants to make if you try to read it as satire or metaphor
