Ben Jennings is an award-winning cartoonist and illustrator who has been capturing the essence of UK politics for longer than a decade. Known for his humour and poignant commentary, he draws inspiration from daily breaking news, turning headlines about Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer and other politicians into powerful satirical cartoons. In the run-up to the UK's general election, we spent time with Ben in his studio to learn more about what it's been like to cover years of austerity and to discuss the role of satire in political discourse. Ben has an upcoming exhibition charting 14 years of Tory rule called Snowflake's Progress
