In today’s featured cartoon, as UK gears for its next PM, cartoonist Christian Adams alludes to UK Foreign Secretary and PM candidate Lizz Truss’ ideologies and the head-on battle for votes for the PM’s seat.

In a similar vein, Seamus Jennings takes a dig at the ongoing Tory leadership contest in which Rishi Sunak now holds lead over Lizz Truss.
Dave Brown too refers to the race for the UK PM’s chair with his take on French impressionist artist, Edgar Degas’ style. The illustration draws parallels between Lizz Truss and former British PM Margaret Thatcher.
Peter Brookes refers to the hearing on Donald Trump’s “complete dereliction” of duties during the siege of the Capitol on 6 January, 2021, while he was the President of America.
