Ok I have far too much to do today to spend more than 2 minutes on this but here’s my political cartoon of the day, please enjoy

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

They brought on a ballon d’or winner and arguably the best striker in the world to help see the game out. The fact we’re even competing is admirable.

The toon v Liverpool match that is..

Anyone got a link to a livestream for the match? Been locked out of TNT!

Fascist rioters attack the Capitol on 6 January 2021, in an attempted coup.

Renee Nicole Good, smiling, with her son.

The "shaman" douchebag from the 6 January vandals.

For easy reference. On the left, "agitators" and "domestic terrorists". Or the right, presidentially pardonned "freedom fighters".

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

That hand has committed plenty greater crimes against football in the past 15 years than that. (Assuming you draw right handed)

Is that a massive chocolate fountain in the background though? Would make the image even more iconic if it was.

The only other time I remember them going hard and getting it wrong was the rumoured return of Woodgate on loan from Real, before he ended up at Boro. Not a bad strike rate.
