Ah ha! This would be the Great Locust Plague sent from On High (at the request of the leader of the Opposition) to punish us because we didn’t vote him into The Lodge.
I’ve been expecting it.

Thanks Zut – I always wondered what they taught in those Jesuit seminaries. Thanks FDOTM for another great panel

Federal Dept. of Locusts, Insects and Other Weird Shit. Classic FD. But who would be the most appropriate Minister and Shadow Minister? Likely candidates abound!

You missed the spooky endgame, FDOTM. The locust swarms eventually run out of puff or fodder and become cannibals whilst indulging in an egg-laying orgy. Any number of political parallels spring to mind.
Andrew le Clerq- it has to be The Cockroach as Shadow Minister.
