Golden, bubbling, and full of flavour. My potato, onion & garlic gratin uses homemade chicken broth, parboiled potatoes & fried onions — no cream needed! Perfect comfort food for one. 👉

Caricature of a glamorous woman in a red dress standing smugly in front of towering green shipping containers labeled “PPE GOWNS.” One container is ajar, revealing a plastic gown inside. A greyhound with a monocle stands nearby, while a sack labeled “OFFSHORE £££” and crumbled Digestives lie on the ground.

I had absolutely no idea. I was new to the European Parliament, Nathan Gill had been there for years alongside Farage — they were very close. Rupert Lowe.

Andrea Jenkyns sang Insomniac, demanded £180K for her inbox, protested a solar farm, and accused the BBC of bias. Issy twitches. Poppy adjusts her monocle. Joey squawks “Reform UK: where inboxes sing and budgets scream.” Jasper chews a velvet glove.

£154 million spent on a Brexit border facility in Kent — never used.
That could’ve built a small hospital or funded hundreds of NHS beds.
But yes, Richard Tice, tell us again how Brexit didn’t mean higher taxes. 🇬🇧

#Issy&PoppyInvestigate

Whimsical cartoon of two black greyhounds with white chests and greying snouts in front of a white campervan parked by a coastal mountain landscape. Poppy wears a monocle and holds a magnifying glass, looking clever. Issy has a white-tipped tail and a bemused expression. A picnic of plates, wine glasses, and a steaming pot is laid out on the grass. The sky above swirls with stars and pink galaxy spirals. Lighthearted, surreal, and satirical in style.
