A really enjoyable retro-read is Private Eye's "Battle for Britain", published as an Eye strip in the 80's and subsequently as a book.

Featured all the politicos of the day--Maggie, Kinnochio etc. as characters in a "Battler Brittain" style comic strip, with lots of "Take that,squarehead!" and "Teufel!"

It followed the current political events in that style, lampooning everyone, including "Admiral Grosser Heath", "Michael Hesselschwein" Doc "Killer" Owen and Normo Tebbs as a sinister SS General--absolutely hilarious and highly recommended.
