The Return of Spitting Image

I imagine he will be very snowflake friendly. The original was based on being brutal and slating people based on current affairs.

I don't see this being anything like that.

I hope you're wrong. Spitting image would be a welcome fillip to today modern, boring, can't offend anyone or anything, society.
 
That scene at the dining table in the cabinet surrounded by her slavering ministers. Waiter to Thatcher as he places her steak and prepares to serve the veg... 'What about the vegetables?' 'They'll have the same...'
 
Not sure why you would "need" a Diane Abbot puppet? She is no longer a front bencher, of course if they don't the "Gammons and Karens" will be shouting political correctness...
 
RuPaul, Adele, Kim Kardashian, James Corden, Beyoncé, Andrew Windsor, Donald Trump, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kanye West and Vladimir Putin - all in the new series . pretty much covers all bases.

plenty of material to have a laugh at that circus.

If this line ups correct then it's probably not really going to be a political satire anyway...

Unlike its 1980s heyday, Mr Law said the new series would not focus on the lower ranks of British politics, explaining: "It's an awful lot of trouble to go to, and you want it to be effective."
He told the paper the show's producers are in talks with US-based networks about bringing the show to a wider global audience.

...which makes sense if it's being made for a US audience. Is Diane Abbott well known over there?

I'm not sure it's entirely for a US audience. Cummings isn't exactly known over there, but he's a key character in the new series as is Boris.

I'm sure there will be a Rees-Mogg, maybe a couple of the front benchers take your pick out of Gove (who already looks like a SI puppet), Sunak, Coffey, Dories and Priti Patel all begging to be satirised.
