This week there have been two rival Corbyn dramas being played out across London. In Westminster, the Labour leader struggles to get a grip on the anti-Semitism crisis taking over his party, while over in Waterloo Corbyn faces a nuclear dilemma.
While both seem fantastical, unfortunately only one is make believe. Corbyn the Musical: the Motorcycle Diaries — written by Rupert Myers and Bobby Friedman — imagines Corbyn facing a nuclear crisis, and also offers a take on what may have gone on when Corbyn and Diane Abbott are said to have gone on a motorcycle holiday in the 1970s.
Despite much media interest, Corbyn is yet to attend the show. However, Mr S can disclose that one member of the Corbyn family has managed to see the funny side. Corbyn’s youngest son Tommy recently attended a performance of the musical satire, where he mingled with the cast after the show:

While Corbyn has so far failed to respond to his invitation to attend the show before the sold out run ends, there may still be hope. Mr S understands that Tommy sent his father a text encouraging him to come and watch the play. After a day like today, Corbyn may well find that he is in need of some light entertainment.
