You're not alone. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean or how it's a joke...

I think the totality of his thinking was Burnham, North, Brussels, EU, France, erm... not quite sure what Coronation Street has to do with all that, but hey, it's a reference most people will get, even if they don't know why he's picked it.

It's not even a good caricature of Burnham, but maybe I'm expecting too much from a political cartoonist.

I've never watched Coronation Street. I know it's a thing, but beyond that not a clue.

I'm Scottish and I live in North Shields, Yorkshire isn't North.
