Vermin on the Front Bench

This artwork depicts a chaotic session of the British House of Commons where human politicians are replaced by anthropomorphic rats in business suits. Set within a meticulously detailed Gothic chamber featuring green leather benches and dark wood paneling, the scene centers on a rat gesturing from a dispatch box toward a disorderly assembly of arguing vermin. Through the juxtaposition of traditional symbols of power with the imagery of a rat infestation, the piece serves as a satirical commentary on political corruption, decay, and the absurdity of modern governance.
