The Secret Diary of Jeremy Corbyn: (A Parody)
Lucien Young
Jeremy Corbyn is a committed allotment holder, expert jam maker, dedicated manhole cover inspector… oh, and occasional Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition. When not cycling around his beloved Islington or tending to his courgettes, he spends his time frantically dodging MPs, spin doctors and vicious journalists craving his opinion on Brexit. In these tumultuous times, everyone wants a piece of the beardy firebrand, but `Jez’ himself seems to prefer a quiet, middle-class life of veganism and Peruvian poetry. So who is the man behind the corduroy?The Secret Diary of Jeremy Corbyn offers an unprecedented glimpse into the mind of an unlikely hero. Affectionately edited by Moe Mentum, it plunges readers into a world of dizzying highs, crushing lows, fervent loyalty and bitter treachery – and that’s just the section about the Highbury Pottery Club. The eagle-eyed reader may notice an uncanny resemblance to another acclaimed North London diarist, Charles Pooter, while fans of Pepys, Boswell and Adrian Mole will be moved, amused and astonished by the wit and insight of politics’ greatest outsider: the man, the legend, Jeremy Corbyn.
