Political cartoons: 'Undermining the spin'

Martin Rowson is a political cartoonist whose work appears in British newspapers.

Ahead of the UK general election in June, Martin shows us what inspires him to caricature some of the UK’s political leaders the way he does.

He argues that the role of political cartoons is to “rip aside the façade of control” of these leaders and show them just “as chaotic and useless as we are”. All views his own.
