‘What would happen if somebody ever came to power that you actually agreed with?’ It's not a question that troubles most people, but spare a thought for the left-wing satirist who is used to lacerating Tory, Labour and coalition governments with equal ferocity. Yet while I am sometimes asked this question, any party – in government or in opposition ­– has been so far from representing my own views that it has always remained largely hypothetical. Until now. How on earth can I attack Jeremy Corbyn when I find myself agreeing with most of what he says? After all, political cartooning is an offensive, attacking medium. Or it is nothing.
