15 political jokes to help you cope with all the general election news
The past week has seen a couple of car-crash interviews with Andrew Neil at the wheel and Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon clinging to the bonnet. Boris Johnson had his own skid marks to worry about – not like that – when Jeremy Corbyn shared documents suggesting the PM had been telling porkies about the NHS not being up for discussion in a trade deal with the US, not to mention some problematic maths around “new” nurses.
With just two weeks left before polling day, the opportunity for mockery is greater than ever, and these people weren’t letting it pass them by.

Suddenly looking forward to Trump's UK visit during the election campaign, when Johnson is asked to publicly reject Trump's key trade deal demands while standing right next to him.
