===Prime ministers===
* [[Margaret Thatcher]], depicted with a mad, staring eye, a pointed nose, wide neck, big hair and generally masculine features.
* [[John Major]], who began appearing with [[underpants]] on the outside of the trousers of his suit, when it was claimed that he tucked his [[shirt]] into them. Bell referred to this as "the badge of an essentially crap [[Superman]]". (This report was false, having been made up by [[Alastair Campbell]] during his late days on the ''[[Daily Mirror]]''[https://web.archive.org/web/20050405062605/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2005/02/13/do1310.xml]. Nevertheless, it fitted popular perceptions of Major's naive suburban incompetence so well that many people today still believe it to be true.)
*[[Tony Blair]], depicted with the same mad, staring eye as Margaret Thatcher and a very pointed head which, along with his ears, can be used to make any object (speed cameras, pylons, giant eye, poodle) represent him, playing upon his increasingly [[authoritarian]] image.
*[[Gordon Brown]], depicted as a grumpy ruthless [[Scottish people|Scot]] and can be used to make any object (bear, snail, lion, Stalin) to represent him.
* [[David Cameron]], initially portrayed as a jellyfish, later as a tumescent pink condom.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2010/oct/09/simon-hoggart-diary|title=What David Cameron said to Steve Bell|date=8 October 2010|access-date=8 July 2017|newspaper=The Guardian |last1=Hoggart |first1=Simon }}</ref>
