The Tories’ Santa tax has brought Christmas to its knees - December 2022 The Observer - By Stewart Lee - December 18th, 2022

It seems there is no depth to which the current crop of Conservatives will not sink, monetising every aspect of modern life in an attempt to create backdoor pathways to funnel any available wealth into their own pockets and those of their donors and cronies, the rivers and seas fouled with excrement, the bodies piled…

From jungles to bras, Tory sleaze is lurking - November 2022 The Observer - By Stewart Lee - November 27th, 2022

For the corrupt Tories and their opportunistic friends, the double whammy of Brexit and the pandemic has been a cash handout bonanza, the clatter of fruit machine payouts drowning the lamentations of millions of mourners. Handsy Matt Handcock even got a £400,000 cow’s anus-noshing, sin-eating television appearance out of his role in the racket. At…

My Waterman conspiracy theory was sunk by Nadhim Zahawi’s incompetence - May 2022 The Observer - By Stewart Lee - May 15th, 2022

Everyone can remember where they were when, on Monday of last week, they heard that Pete Waterman, of 1980s pop-production duo Stockhausen and Waterman, had died.

The Keirgate Beergate confusion campaign, by the Conservatives and their slave journalists, attempts to…

Barrel-scraper Grant Shapps is taking us for a ride - May 2022 The Observer - By Stewart Lee - May 1st, 2022

In 2002, I accessed the 3,000-year-old subterranean ceremonial chamber of Pendeen Fogou in north-west Cornwall, by crawling through a 2ft-deep river of liquid cow slurry. Once inside, I was transformed and it was worth it. On Wednesday, I crawled through filth again, as I tried to read the Daily Mail as research for this column.…

Why Brexit Britain is turning purple with shame - April 2022 The Observer - By Stewart Lee - April 17th, 2022

Like a bald man masturbating alone into an open pedal bin, Boris Johnson’s Brexit Britain disgusts itself. And yet, despite being observed on the gents’ toilet’s security camera that is the modern world stage, it continues its abasement unabashed. After the second world war, the German volk were described as experiencing kollektivschuld, a national shame.…
