The government is embarrassed about the leak of a confidential email exchange, but have you heard about Clementine’s new beau Devon Ayre?

And does it really matter what dubious corporate connections helped get this bill into place while Clementine and Coral are locking horns in a violent feud?
Livestock is a razor-sharp satire on our relationship with the media from critically acclaimed graphic novelist Hannah Berry. In the fight for the public’s attention, why let public interest get in the way?
