2011
Hunting Mr Fox. Labour's Ed Miliband and Harriet Harman lead the hounds in hunting down Defence Secretary Fox after his dodgy dealings with international man of mystery Adam Werritty. 
Holy VAT Man; Miliband says Cameron and Osborne’s VAT rise is “the wrong tax at the wrong time”. He is roundly abused and called a joker by the Tories.
The MP's Parole Officer; several MPs are now in prison as a result of the extended expenses scandal of the past year. 
Despite previously saying that he would keep out of the debate on the changes to the voting system, Cameron wades in and expresses his contempt for the Lib Dems' proposal of the "Alternative Vote Plus" system to replace "First Past The Post". 
Ken Clarke's plan to offer 50% sentence cuts for early guilty pleas are set to be shelved. The plans were "as good as scrapped" after a meeting between Cameron Clarke. This is seen as Cameron trying to appear tough against his “wet” Justice Minister. 
Obama restart. No matter how much money is pumped into the American economy via loans to industries like the automotive sector, it refuses to grow. 
Sally Bercow, wife of the Commons Speaker, is voted off Celebrity Big Brother. Mrs Bercow, who admitted husband John did not want her to take part, was criticised for undermining his role. This cartoon as used later as the Bercows’ Christmas card. 
A power cut mysteriously blanks out Ed Miliband’s keynote speech to the Labour party conference. Who is really to blame? We will never know.
Andy Coulson "resigns" as Cameron's PR man, amid increasing revelations about conflicting interests with News International. 
NHS Reforms; Cameron is determined to push through his part privatization of the NHS, against the better judgment of the doctors. It is yet another top-down re-organisation of the health service, something he specifically promised not to do in the manifesto.
Big Society; “er…what’s that?” cries the public.
Mubarak Sphynx; the Arab Spring appears to be about to claim its first head. 
Emperor Silvio; the old buzzard carries on regardless of the fact that his country is falling apart and he is about to be hauled in front of a judge. The man’s hubris is staggering.
Osborne Robber; Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls, says Osborne has not punished the banks enough for their role in the economic crisis. 
Bin Laden Hydra; one head down, probably many more to go.
Erased Nick; after a rout in the referendum on Alternative Voting, Nick Clegg’s power and his place in history seem to be evaporating before his eyes. Cameron appears to be in his pomp, looking more statesmanlike all the time – it’s what they train them for at Eton doncha know.
