The Epstein Files Break Every Sales Record—Despite Being Almost Entirely Unreadable Podcast By Sarnia de la Maré for Politica UK Move aside Colleen Hoover. Step back, Richard Osman. Clear the runway entirely, Booker Prize hopefuls. The new, unstoppable titan of global fiction has arrived—and it is, quite frankly, a brick of secrets wrapped in a dust jacket. The Epstein Files, billed as “the novel the establishment doesn’t want you to read,” has smashed every publishing record in existence this week, selling faster than Taylor Swift tickets and causing bookstores to introduce a two-copy limit after several customers were caught fist-fighting near the window displays. The only problem? Nobody can actually read the bloody thing. A Page-Turner You Can’t Turn Early purchasers describe the reading experience as “challenging,” “emotionally complex,” and, in one case, “like trying to decode a crossword written by MI6 during a power cut.” Readers report palpable tension on every page, rising ...

A satirical news desk by Sarnia de la Maré / Tale Teller Club Press If the last decade has taught us anything, it’s this: The world is absurd — so we may as well draw it. Politica UK is my new illustrated desk for global satire: a place where politics, art, and irreverence collide in full colour (usually with someone looking mildly panicked). Born out of my long-standing punk roots and feminist sensibilities, Politica UK isn’t here to rage — it’s here to observe, sketch, and provoke . It is political commentary by a woman who grew up around anarchist bands, underground arts clubs, and DIY media collectives where humour was always the sharpest weapon. What You’ll Find Here Illustrated satire from the UK, US, and beyond Hand-coloured etching–style cartoons with a modern bite Sharp feminist undercurrents (the kind that make power uncomfortable) Short, clever commentary Occasional chaos, courtesy of global governments Politica UK is part of the wider Tale Teller ec...

Donald Trump vs the BBC: The Billionaire Who Wants Your Licence Fee There are certain headlines that make Britain collectively choke on its tea. “Donald Trump threatens to sue the BBC” is one of them. Not because the idea of Trump threatening legal action is shocking — he’s sued (or threatened to sue) everything from entire newspapers to comedy shows to, reportedly, a small Welsh farmer (long story). No, the real eyebrow-raiser is the unintended punchline: If Trump sues the BBC… UK licence fee payers could, in theory, end up footing the bill. Yes. You. Me. Your nan in Worthing who only wants to watch Strictly . All of us. Potentially paying the world’s richest political performer for the privilege of him being offended. The Irony Is Almost Too On-the-Nose The BBC is not a private corporation lounging on Scrooge McDuck vaults. It’s a public service broadcaster with a funding model that is, famously, unpopular with everyone — except, apparently, Donald J. Trump, who may have...

A satirical caricature portraying Donald Trump as an overgrown schoolboy — complete with a tiny red-and-white cap perched upon his signature yellow hair. His exaggerated pout and self-satisfied smirk embody the bratty confidence of a playground tyrant who’s just been told he’s “perfect.” This humorous artwork blends political commentary with cartoon absurdity, highlighting the childish vanity often seen in positions of power. Rendered in expressive pen and digital paint, the piece captures both the comedy and unease of inflated ego and arrested development. Disclaimer: This is a work of parody and satire. It does not claim to depict real events and is created for artistic and humorous purposes only.
