Cartoons and controversies with Times cartoonist Peter Brookes

He's been skewering those in power with his drawings for The Times since 1992. In an age where finding the balance between satire and offence can be a fraught, Peter Brookes, our award-winning political cartoonist, discusses his brush with Boris Johnson, why he appreciates a loathsome politician, and the challenges of drawing Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.  This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
