Press
The quick-turnaround topical sitcom continues. There are seven days left until the big Brexit vote-off and it's a tense time in the respective campaign HQs. The prime minister is set to pay a visit to the Unity Unit and Ruby is fretting over the quality of her cheesecake, while the Brexit bunch are busily exercising their paranoia muscles over events in Malgosia. Elsewhere, the Trump team employ their questionable charm in a desperate attempt to woo women.
