UK Politicians as Muppets

[Mort7]

Hope this raises a smile on a grey Saturday.

I was watching BBC Breakfast this morning, waiting for the weather forecast. Naga Munchetty was on, so I had the sound muted to cut out the whiny inane drivel. Various politicians were shown, and it struck me how many of them were personifications of the cast of the Muppet Show - both in terms of their appearance and their gestures.

Jo Swinson was first. She reminded me of Janice:-



Boris:-



Nigel Farage:-



Emily Thornberry:-



The best I could come up with for Jeremy Corbyn, mainly because of his inability to state his position on Brexit, was Beaker:-

Waldorf and Stadtler!
Sturgeon has quite a muppet face.
I'd say Rory is more like Beaker, the messy hair and oversized collar.
Dr Bunsen?
Kermit?
Fozzie bear looks a bit like Alex Salmond.

We desperately need Spitting Image back.

Parliament's brain is missing...

Was briefly noted on here last night. Corbyn and his cabbages (his shadow cabinet) and Thatcher with her vegetables (her cabinet).
I think there Blair years were a bit fallow, nondescript middle of the road nobodies. Now we've got more extremes and more vocal MPs there's much more material to play with.
I watched the quick one about Major dropping an acid tab last night, even his acid trip was in black and white!

Read last month that spitting image is on the way back to our screens very soon. Better late then never.

Hopefully they'll have some better writers this time around.

Those images look more like the names below the pictures.

You may be right. In which case:-

Corbyn?




And Caroline Lucas. It's not easy being green......

I think the cast of the Muppets would be infinitely preferable to the extraordinary cast of characters we presently have!!

If only Danny Alexander was still on the go. Beaker.

Always thought he was more

[glazbagun]

Beaker was Danny Alexander IIRC, before the LD's were punished.
