I've offered to repaint the mural on the children's centre, painted over on the orders of Robert Jenrick, in the refugee centre at Dover. Presuming I get a positive response, if any other cartoonist would like to join me, you'd be most welcome.
Another possible reason why Mr Bates vs the Post Office hit home so well is it is a microcosm of what's happening in this country to everyone.A tiny rich powerful entity is cheating us out of our money while not giving a thimble of piss for the wellbeing of anyone but themselves.
Just to keep you informed of how things are going in the Jenrick mural debacle, as we can't redo the mural our plan is for the top cartoonists in the country to do a colouring-in book welcoming refugee kids, given to them for free and to potentially to sell to the wider public..

For tomorrow's Metro. Sadly this isn't even satire. I've crunched the numbers and it's true. It WOULD be cheaper to go on a round the world cruise.
for relevant kids refugee charity. It'll be a page per cartoonist and it's going to be brilliant. We'd appreciate your support when this comes off. Together we can lead by example and show vulnerable kids that we're not all ghastly bastards.

I already have. If it goes ahead it will be a mural made up of work by most of the finest cartoonists and illustrators in the country. And a lot of tea and cakes from the locals!

I've met Liz Truss a few times. She immediately strikes you as someone perpetually recovering from concussion. In anywhere other than this particular Tory government she'd be heavily sedated and only allowed to eat with a spoon.
One of my favourite cartoons of all time and a trick he was very good at.The visuals carry the weight of the gag and the words make your brain do a double take.
@tonyhusband1
swapped it for one of mine he liked. I got a far far better deal. Its painted in acrylics on a tiny canvas
Happy Birthday

. This isn't my FIRST cartoon you published ( which was some time in the 1980s, I can neither remember or find that one) but here's an early one from there abouts.
