  • Ben Jennings is an award-winning cartoonist and illustrator who has been capturing the essence of UK politics for longer than a decade. Known for his humour and poignant commentary, he draws inspiration from daily breaking news, turning headlines about Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer and other politicians into powerful satirical cartoons. In the run-up to the UK's general election, we spent time with Ben in his studio to learn more about what it's been like to cover years of austerity and to discuss the role of satire in political discourse

  • In the run-up to July's election, the Guardian video team will be touring the UK looking at the issues that matter to voters. In a week when an attack on a refugee camp in Rafah and the Labour party's treatment of Diane Abbott and Faiza Shaheen dominated the headlines, we spoke to voters in Ilford – North and South – who were protesting locally about Gaza. We asked whether these issues would make a difference to how they vote in the election, met canvassers getting behind independent candidates, and spoke to business owners about their political priorities
