This cartoon is entitled “The EU gets tough on lobbying”. On the left is a man in a tie kneeling and begging saying “Please will you fill in the register correctly?”. And on the right is a man in a tie with a briefcase labelled ‘lobbyist’ who is saying “I’d rather not, but thanks for asking.” Cartoon by Ralph Underhill.
