This is an episode of Tracey Ullman's satirical comedy show Tracey Breaks the News, focusing on the aftermath of the 2017 UK general election and contemporary international politics. It opens with Tracey's Theresa May delivering a grim address to the nation about how nobody will get what they want, before cutting into a series of political sketches. Among the highlights are a Kremlin operative unit managing a malfunctioning Melania Trump robot (1:31), Angela Merkel holding a video chat with Donald Trump while using a dirndl-clad assistant serving strudel to hold his focus (4:03), and Nicola Sturgeon confronting Ruth Davidson on a golf course before revealing a modified nuclear missile labeled "Glasgow Kiss" (19:50).
The episode blends broad character impressions with quick satirical sketches, including a training school for Eastern European builders adjusting to Brexit (2:50), a polling agency turning to fortune-telling after failed predictions (14:19), and a support group for people coming to terms with the fact that others hold different political opinions (16:17). Towards the end, a meta sketch follows Tracey as she tracks down an online Twitter troll who disparaged her show and pushes him into a pond (27:50), before closing on Theresa and Philip May lying in bed listening to a late-night voicemail of Arlene Foster making outlandish DUP demands (28:34).
Tracey Ullman's impressions are exceptionally sharp, particularly her depictions of Theresa May and Angela Merkel, which perfectly capture the surreal nature of European and UK politics at the time. While some of the specific references are tied to 2017 headlines, the humor around media spin, public outrage, and political chaos remains thoroughly entertaining.
