Torrid Times is the brilliant and unflinching new collection of sketches of contemporary political life by The Times's master of satire, Peter Brookes. Within these pages, the multiple winner of the British Press Awards Cartoonist of the Year showcases the standout pieces from his political cartoons in The Times, up to the minute and breathtaking in their bite and wit. Cataloguing two of the most turbulent years on record, Torrid Times provides an unsparing critique of political leaders and events at home and abroad. From Partygate and Prince Harry to Liz Truss's disastrous time in office and Putin's devastating war in Ukraine, this collection of exquisitely crafted cartoons provides vivid proof, were it needed, that we are indeed living through torrid times.
