Spitting Image has been accused of sexism over a sketch about Labour leader Keir Starmer and MP Jess Phillips.
Spitting Image creator Roger Law insisted that the show would parody both right and left-wing figures when it returned in October last year.
On Sunday 3 October, the show’s official Twitter account shared a clip depicting puppet versions of Starmer and Phillips as superheroes attempting to foil a robbery.
Near the end of the video, Starmer can also be seen calling Phillips a “Brummie tart”.
