There used to be a web page on UK Parliament's website about political satire and how it could be used to criticise politicians in an entertaining way. It's gone now.
Do you reckon it was Johnson or Truss or Sunak that had it taken down?

I posted my list of wealth taxes yesterday and via a follower it was read out by James O’Brien. These are already very effective. But they’ve had little publicity. It’s so annoying.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Key points: Met police say investigation into other politicians is ongoing. Gill sought to recruit multiple MEPs including 4 British ones.

Trump is conspiring with Putin to sell out Ukraine – and the security of the whole of Europe along with it.

New: I can confirm hasty US-Russia proposal being pushed to Ukrainians via Dmitriev-Witkoff to Umerov. It would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation, with people familiar saying it’s Kremlin’s maximalist demands.
