Jeremy Corbyn – Tyrantrum
“Complete restoration is impossible, allowing room for theories that its entire body was once covered in a feather-like coat.” – Pokedex
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is a love-him-or-hate-him figure. Some see him as the bastion of hope, rebalancing inequality in the UK, ending austerity, and offering a reasonable solution to the never-ending Brexit ordeal.
Those on the right see him as a vehement communist intent on bringing the country to its knees or something insane. Dude just wants to protect the NHS and not send our country into years of economic ruin… but anyway.
Unfortunately, much like the devastatingly-powerful Tyrantrum, complete restoration of Corbyn’s reputation seems impossible.
Claims of anti-Semitism within the Labour Party, his lackluster handling of the Brexit process over the last three years as leader of the opposition, and the fact he doesn’t watch the Queen’s Speech on Christmas Day (how dare he!), has led to many snubbing the idea of Corbyn as Prime Minister.
Corbyn and Tyrantrum go hand-in-hand. Not only do they both favor the color red, but they’re both symbols of older times. Tyrantrum, as we know from its Pokedex is essentially a 100 million-year-old reincarnation of a once domineering force.
Corbyn is a step to the left in the Labour Party, representing less moderate policies and whose current manifesto harks back to that of the 1945 Labour Government that eventually reformed domestic policy and introduced the NHS. An iconic relic of past politics, but one that in the current political climate seems impossible to restore, much like poor Tyrantrum.
They’re also both rather fond of the color red, too.
The Conservative Party also consistently claimed he was a chicken for not calling a Vote of No Confidence in Boris Johnson’s government sooner, which, I guess goes with the whole ‘feather-like coat,’ too.
