The Guardian
McGarryBowen has created a set of Brexit-themed crackers for the Guardian, aimed at putting a lighthearted, satirical spin on the Christmas tradition.
The crackers contain cheeky prizes themed around the key issues of the referendum debate - for example, toys inside include a yo-yoing pound and a toy Brexit bus, where you can play with promises to fund the NHS. The crackers also feature a miniature EU jigsaw, where you can piece together a map of the European Union and try and make the UK fit and there’s even a tiny, miniature book of Brexit plans, containing Britain’s entire exit strategy, though you might struggle to read it.

Tips from the professionals, with Sam Leith. We all know how to write. We may know how to write well. But is our writing the best that it can be?
