The puppets were so-called 'spitting image' versions of politicians and celebrities. The show was fairly topical and political in that it covered current affairs. John Major was always grey which was a fairly accurate representation of himself 
I found a short clip (embedded below) where the show correctly predicted that Labour would win the 1997 election. I can't remember seeing that episode and I don't think the show ran for much longer after that. Probably ended in the early Blair days.
Did anyone here watch this and did anything replace it? I can't think of anything on TV now that is like Spitting Image although there are panel shows like Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week. Those would be the nearest nowadays.
I would love if Spitting Image came back to mock today's politics in the UK and also the Trump administration.
