#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.

Nigel Farage faces claims of racism. Still waiting for equal scrutiny on Russian funding in UKIP/Brexit/Reform or the Clacton house linked to him/them/her. #Politics #Transparency #Farage

It’s a disgrace that Spain’s 2023 animal-welfare law excludes hunting dogs. These dogs—often abandoned or mistreated after the season—are left without the protections given to companion animals. A glaring loophole in a law meant to be progressive.

Issy & Poppy — greyhound detectives in sunny Andalucía — are back! 🐾 This time they’re investigating Brexit Believers, political myths, biscuit shortages and one very excitable childhood ghost. Sunshine, satire, and snark.

Portrait of a suited man in glasses beside a headline: “We Brexiteers must acknowledge the costs of leaving Europe.” A candid reflection on Brexit’s economic toll. Two sleek black greyhounds with white chest patches sit on purple mats under a lemon tree, surrounded by scattered papers. One wears a monocle, eyeing the other with detective-like focus. Behind them, a red-roofed village house and blue sky set the scene—Issy & Poppy deep in courtyard contemplation.

A cartoon-style illustration outside a building labeled “Escuela Infantil.” The Flexible Chef stands in the foreground wearing sunglasses, a short-sleeved shirt, and an apron that reads “THE FLEXIBLE CHEF.” Two black greyhounds sit beside him—Poppy is wearing a monocle.
