300 years after the publication of Jonathan Swift鈥檚 Gulliver鈥檚 Travels, Matthew Sweet looks at satire, past and present. How can satirists reflect critically and humorously on political events in an age of social media saturation and at a time when reality can seem stranger than fiction?

Jan Ravens, actor and impressionist, known for her work on Spitting Image and Radio 4's Dead Ringers
