Scope and content
On Labour party leadership. Jeremy Corbyn clings on to the tie of Tom Watson while hanging over a cliff. Tom Watson stands above, holding a pair of scissors and saying, 'DON'T WORRY JEREMY, YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE..'. Humanoid figures with their trousers down and heads up their arses rally on the adjacent clifftop, brandishing pitchforks and a sign reading: 'PRAISE JESUS FOR BUMP + TREXIT!'. They have just pushed John Bercow, clad in his Speaker's robes, off the cliff - he is grinning in mid air and saying 'ME NEITHER!' [Bercow was facing a challenge at the time amid accusations of neglecting his Speaker's neutrality in the Brexit debate]. A woman whose face is obscured by the cliff face looks on in the background [possibly Theresa May].
