Once again cartoonists from both left and right-leaning rags have laid into Labour this past week, glorious to see. It's not often we feature Martin Rowson's strangely (poorly?) drawn efforts from The Guardian, but there's no mistaking the woeful sight of Streeting, Reeves and Starmer waiting in A&E as doctors go on strike.
The Guardian's sister rag
The Observer issued an apology last week after Zarah Sultana was triggered by a cartoon depicting her on a bag of sultanas. The MP raged on
X:
"Brownfacing a box of raisins and mocking my surname, exactly what you’d expect from a right-wing hack who is the daughter of an aristocrat and ex-Tory MP."
Quite how one 'brownfaces' a box of raisins, which are inherently brown anyway, is beyond anyone's comprehension, but
The Observer swiftly issued an apology and removed the toon. However, this still wasn't enough for snowflake Zarah who took to
X again:
"This is mealy-mouthed and refuses to call it what it is: racism. It doesn’t even have the decency to name me, let alone offer a direct apology."
The offending cartoon can be seen below, but you'll have to squint in order to see the reference that upset Zarah. The sultana box can be found to the left hand side of Marx's Das Capital.
Also, look out for an Ozzy Osbourne reference from Dave Brown, who echoes our suspicions about Angela Rayner's leadership ambitions...
