"A barcode and a zebra fit together rather well. The barcode is a good symbol of what people have to deal with at the supermarket checkout. That's where everyone notices that the cost of living is still a problem. Starmer may not have caused this, but he hasn't done a great deal to alleviate it. I've drawn Rachel Reeves as an oxpecker. Oxpeckers clean the host animal, but Reeves has been doing the opposite, because the budget was poorly received by businesses. That's why she's making a mess here." - Peter Brookes
