Pig Brother, an 24-hour internet sensation based on Channel 4's popular reality TV show, features pigs all named after leading politicians.

The pigs have a crackling good time in a designer sty on Somerset farmer Richard Counsell's farm. But then they are voted off the gravy train and served in gravy and apple sauce and a good stuffing.
Mercifully (Nasty) Widdecombe, Blair and Beckett have been forced out of the trough. They have taken the long walk out of their sty and away from the all-seeing eyes of the webcams.
And in a pigs might fly finale, it's just weaners Portillo and Brown who have the oink to be crowned the world's top porker.
No-one knows what the winner of the show will get, but the project is bringing home the bacon for the Farmers in Crisis charity which was set up to help those affected by the foot and mouth crisis.
