Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how

This is really excellent data journalism... Elon Musk has declared war on the British government, it just doesn't realise it.

A six panel comic, three rows of two panels each. 

Poppy the dog walks along a path of mario blocks, including one question block. In the second panel, she is knocked over by the sudden appearance of a giant poppy, who has grown out of the sixth panel and now spans through panels 2, 4 and 6.

In the third panel, poppy falls back and hits the question block, which drops a mushroom into the fifth panel.

In the fourth panel, poppy stares at the back of the giant poppy that is crossing through the panel.

In the fifth panel, the mushroom from the fourth panel lands on Poppy.

In the sixth panel, Poppy becomes giant, growing all the way up to the second panel and knocking the second panel poppy over.

With Boro losing out to Coventry over Kaine Kesler-Hayden Hayden; will we have a problem attracting players now Carrick has left?

Also, which youth team players do you expect/hope to be on the plane to Portugal

Cartoon strip by Stephen Collins for the guardian.

[Scene is a CAR DEALERSHIP, complete with balloons etc. On the forecourt is ELON MUSK, stood next to a 2007 NISSAN QUASHQAI]

MUSK:
Uh, hi

That's right it's me uh

back selling cars

So uh, today I’m announcing the new Tesla  for just $9,999!

You’re probably thinking uh, “hey that looks like a 2007 Nissan Qashqai”

That's because it's in Incognito Mode 

[Musk presses a button on his mobile and the Nissan magically transforms into a Tesla Cybertruck]

MUSK:
We’ve also added a Paranoid Mode to detect judgy looks from nearby liberals 

[Show screen inside vehicle  - cameras detecting pedestrians’ faces and labelling them ‘Woke Mind Virus’]

MUSK:
And expanded the range of EV warning sounds for pedestrians, 

[Show Car making a ‘Vroom vroom’ sound]

MUSK:
by adding: “Just Read Aloud Newspaper Columns By Journalists Who Are Sad They Own A Tesla” 

[Presses button  - ‘Bip’]

[Car now broadcasting a voice from its external speakers, saying]:

“My politics couldn’t be further from Musk’s. But now people look at my car and-”

MUSK:
Best of all, Threat Mode can follow live Tesla stock prices 

and instantly detect if the CEO has done a seig heil or whatever

Then auto-drive you right back here to sell up!

[Show Cybertruck returning Musk to the dealership he started at]

I am kind of expecting a result to be communicated via the local press - assuming Carrick is staying.
I think if not, the club is massively under estimating the frustration that has built up in the fanbase towards, primarily, the manager.
To not acknowledge that creates a huge problem.

cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows:

[Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them]

1
TOWER FAN 1:
Right lads, get ready.

2
TOWER FAN 1:
This is our time.

3
TOWER FAN 1:
The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here.

4
TOWER FAN 1:
We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft,

and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever.

5
TOWER FAN 1:
I know what you’re 
thinking, lads:

6
TOWER FAN 1:
Surely this will be the year they finally replace us?

7
TOWER FAN 1:
Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018...

8
TOWER FAN 1:
Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh… 

TOWER FAN 2:
Cheers mate

9
TOWER FAN 1:
But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists.

By the time they remember, 
new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon.

10
TOWER FAN 1:
So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out...

11
TOWER FAN 1:
...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than.

12
[The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder]
PERSON:
APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA

Fantastic summary, Dom. captures the mood without being overly dramatic.
After Carrick’s tetchy BBC Tees interview would love you to ask him about dropping 27 pts from winning positions this season and whether he still stands by the team’s “mental strength”.
