Breaking New: Jeremy Corbyn is the new Prime Minster. He has taken over a Britain radicalised by five years more austerity that "got a bit out of hand" according to the Conservative Party leader Grant Shapps (elected after a chaotic leadership crisis in the Tory ranks during 2018).
The result of the election came as a surprise to many after Corbyn's dramatic move to the left that led to the mass exodus of most Labour MPs after Clause IV was reintroduced as "Sovietize everything. Victory to the International Proletariat!!" Surprisingly this leftwards direction proved popular even after the short lived rule of 'Provisional Plaid Cymru' who for three months ceased power and maintained a disastrous policy of independence and "Socialism in one country" that was deemed by many commentators to once again discredit alternatives to capitalism. Corbyn managed to win back support to left-wing ideas saying "I think that the death of the entire population of Wales shows that the policies of 'Provisional Plaid Cymru' had some serious issues that should have been dealt with before implementation".
The efforts of ex-Labour MPs to halt Corbyn through a split failed after the Lid-Dem(s) refused to enter another coalition of any description. They eventually joined a mass opposition with the Conservative Party with Yvette Cooper justifying the move in her infamous debate with Jeremy Corbyn.
"Your taking us back to the 1980s, In fact this is worse, you're so left wing this is like 1983 times a thousand".
Corbyn won the debate by arguing that his stance of being 1983 times a thousand would actually not take Labour and Britain back but move it forward to the year 1983000.
Corbyn later added to his manifesto that with such an acceleration of years that a Labour victory would bring there would be a huge Christmas deficit meaning that by law it would have to be Christmas everyday until the debt was paid. Bernard Mattews Ltd would have to be taken into public ownership and collectivised to facilitate the gravy grave challenge that would immediately face a Corbyn government.
What the future holds for Corbyn's government is unknown but no one could have ever predicted the series of events that led to his remarkable victory.
