There is increasingly a febrile climate in which democratic politics is under attack from extreme, violent forces. There needs to be unequivocal and robust pushback against threats, violence and destruction, including online.

A picture of a cartoonist. A picture that encourages you, yes you, to get on a train, bus, car or donkey and make your way to Kent to support satire in challenging times and maybe even enjoy yourself.
It's that day of the year again. A host of the UK's best cartoonists drawing horrible, wonderful things live for the benefit of the public.
Just head to Herne Bay and follow the howling noises.
