I dabble in IT and follow Arsenal F.C. Occasionally UK and world politics cross my path and I voice my concerns. Oil and gas kill people in wars, I'm doing my best to be less reliant on it.

A satirical political cartoon of Keir Starmer in a dark suit and red tie, parodying “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.” In the first panel, he covers his ears while angry voters protest behind him with signs about the cost of living, NHS crisis, low pay, unaffordable housing, and having voted Labour. In the second panel, he covers his eyes as more protesters hold signs calling for public services first, fair wages, investment in towns, and putting Britain first. In the third panel, he either covers his mouth or stands at a press conference podium, looking stern, with a speech bubble saying: “I’ll be here in two years running for PM while Labour continue chasing reform votes.”
Shows a pie with 87% of the grid being fueled by renewable energy.
