The “Department for Unwelcome Truths” mobilises

Illustration (news-cartoon style) of a government response scene outside 10 Downing Street: a suited spokesperson at a lectern, stern and calm, with a banner behind reading “Cough into your elbow, and keep your facts to yourself.” Beside them stands a comically serious “specialist unit” in high-vis jackets holding equipment that looks like air-quality monitors crossed with library book scanners (carbon filters, clipboards labeled “UNWELCOME TRUTHS UNIT”). Include a small crowd of reporters and boom mics; tone is official-meets-absurd.
