TOON TUESDAY #99

Starmer was given a relatively easy ride last week, with most cartoonists choosing to focus on the Middle East.  There were also plenty of space travel references with regards to the Artemis mission to the far side of the Moon.

And so we begin with negotiations on the disastrous Iran conflict that is dismantling Trump's presidency and the movement he created, raised the cost of living for every single family across the entire West, killed thousands of Iranian civilians (including over a hundred schoolchildren in a single strike) and achieved nothing discernibly positive.  Nobody wins...

TOON TUESDAY #96

The war on Iran and its consequences dominated last week's toons, with some artists bringing Angela Rayner's insurgency into the equation.  Rayner reportedly delivered a damning speech to Labour activists in a Westminster boozer last week, albeit she did not actually name the dear leader she was obliterating.  The following quote appears to suggest she is very much gearing up for a leadership challenge after May's looming electoral disaster:  "The very survival of the Labour party is at stake.  As a party and a movement we cannot hide, we cannot go through the motions in the face of decline.  We are running out of time."

Downing Street refused to comment.

Are we ready for Rayner?  God help us...

TOON TUESDAY #95

We begin again with the Israeli war on Iran, including Matt Pritchett's obsession with rising fuel prices.  The Telegraph artist spent the entire week referencing the disastrous effects the war is having on petrol forecourts.  And of course it wouldn't be a week in cartoons these days without a little bit of Mandy...

TOON TUESDAY #94

The bulk of this week's selection features the Israeli war on Iran and Keir Starmer's indecision on Britain's participation, or at the very least despatching the Royal Navy to defend the British base in Cyprus.  If Starmer's reluctance was all about taking lessons from history and putting Britain first, it would be a shrewd move we at BTLP would commend.  However, we all know that he is more concerned about the feelings of Britain's fifth column and the safeguarding of his inner city MPs who rely on the Muslim block vote.  He's already too late for that, they are toast no matter what he does...
