My fur cup Christmas cards arrived. They were wrapped in a print of Boris as king Arthur trying to pull the sword from his foot, with Priti Patel as Guinevere and Dominic Cummins climbing over a cliff as Merlin. Is that a newspaper cartoon anyone remembers? Or is it just some custom for the season?

Has Matt just reused an old cartoon? You’d think if he’d made even his usual poo poo effort it would have the torturer wearing a face mask or something. Absolutely nothing to do with the tag line at all.
