“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Obviously there is a copious amount of single-panel cartoons slating the hegemony of the Trump regime, but for me, this is the best so far.

Back of the net, as they say.

Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about healthcare. Richard Tice uses ‘independent’:

"Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."
