Erika Kirk is a divisive figure in American culture right now. To supporters, she’s a semi-religious saviour carrying on her late husband’s mission.

Donald Trump has inspired countless imitations and parodies over the years, from Alec Baldwin to late drag artist The Vivienne and even Meryl Streep.

JD Vance really believes in stopping criminal activity disguised as political protest.

It literally came as no surprise to anyone when businessman, TV personality and Strictly loser, Thomas Skinner, joined Reform UK this week, despite previously protesting that he is not a ‘political person’.
