Man City in cheating shock The new Private Eye is out now.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1685 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The cover is a “Football Special” and reads “MAN CITY IN CHEATING SHOCK”. It shows Andy Burnham on a football pitch, with the captions “They’ve brought in a new defender!” and “He’s playing at No. 10!” The bottom of the cover reads: “YES! IT’S THE BOOTY-FUL GAME!”

The King of Injustice, a decaying sack of vile flesh. A naked charlatan, a thief, a liar and a grifter of epic proportions. The worst of humanity wrapped in orange putrescence. His legacy will be the personification of revulsion.

Yes diesel is expensive at £2 a litre but a milkshake IPA works out at about £18 a litre and tastes an awful lot worse.

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

Although we’re living longer, the data on healthy life expectancy in the UK isn’t good. Andy Burnham must reverse this trend to protect the NHS and social care, says public health academic Prof Devi Sridhar

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
