No story was too small - or too big - in 2025 to receive the inimitable tongue-in-cheek humour and signature wit of our beloved cartoonist, Mac.
From the drama of Sir Keir Starmer's controversial Chagos deal, to thousands of criminals being released early from jail, and Rachel Reeve's tax raid, there was plenty in the news headlines to spark his imagination.
Even David Beckham's knighthood got a look in, alongside the rise in the use of weight-loss jabs.
What an eventful year 2025 has been, with Mac capturing each and every headline-making moment. Now here's a look at six of his best cartoons...
FEBRUARY: 'I know! Lets give £18 billion to Mauritius'
MAY: 'Wonderful news sweetheart - you're being released early!'
JUNE: 'Very nice, David. But I suggest blue pinstripe and I expect the King will have his own sword'
AUGUST: 'Apparently half the UK is hooked on something called Mounjaro jabs'
AUGUST: 'Certainly, Sir. I'll tel the chef. That's 36 fish and chips, 23 hamburgers, no onions, 44 sausage and mash, 16...'
NOVEMBER: 'You're right, Rachel, It does show honesty and integrity. But I think you should stick to the traditional despatch box on Wednesday'
