Back in 2009 I wrote a piece about the changes coming to the way we made satire and what I thought it would mean for political conversation. The effects are, unhappily, starting to become obvious with just a  year to the UK’s general election after the Coalition government and its fixed-term parliament.

Labour have a go

The Lib Dems have a go back

Watch this space for news of the Tories and UKIP. There will be a lot more of it.

The Tories have indeed had a go as well.

And please do feel free to tell me whether any of it left a lasting impression.
