Jonathan Pie’s Election Special on the Tories brutally sums up 14 years in less than five minutes and is as NSFW as the topic deserves (very)
Jonathan Pie, the satirical alter ego of comedian Tom Walker, has been creating helpful guides to key topics over the course of the election campaign.
Of course, he’s not alone. Every major news outlet has been doing much the same thing, as well as interviewing the big hitters. Where Jonathan Pie differs is that his assessments are devastatingly honest and littered with NSFW language – and it’s just glorious.
His latest election special covers the Conservatives, and he’s got 14 years of material to draw on.
Buckle up – it’s quite the ride.

“Eight Home Secretaries, including grinning exorcist doll Priti Patel, Sajid javid, James ‘Hilarious rape jokes’ Cleverly, and far-right pin-up Suella Braverman. Twice!”
“No fewer than 16 Housing Ministers, which explains why the UK is the most difficult place to buy find a home in the developed world.
In 2000, a home cost four times the average salary. Now it costs eight times the average salary and workers are eleven grand worse off a year.”
“A hundred billion in lost trade due to Brexit. Forty billion in lost tax revenues due to Brexit. Whilst our farmers and our fishermen were sold down the river.”
The piece has been viewed more than four million times in less than 24 hours, and people are cheering it to the rafters.

I’m flabbergasted that there’s still millions who say they’re yet to decide which way to vote.♂️
So let’s give @JonathanPieNews the last word. If this doesn’t move you to understanding there’s only one morally viable option, check with your doctor that you’re not clinically dead! https://t.co/SSVQLn60AL— Reece Dinsdale (@reece_dinsdale) July 2, 2024
