The New Yorker has given Brits a good laugh with their take on the general election as detailed in The Book of Jeremy Corbyn.
And there came from the land of Britain a prophet, whose name was Jeremy. And he cried, Behold, I bring you hope: https://t.co/PWBfYExaYF pic.twitter.com/5WLga16y4A

In the entertaining parody of scripture for the American paper, Corbyn is described as the “prophet” while Theresa May is the “High Priestess”.Some standout lines include: “For man cannot live by bread alone, but hummus is quite another matter” as well as a seeming throwback to Brenda from Bristol with: “And the people said, Not another one.”The Book of Jeremy Corbyn has received a lot of praise – and lols – from people on Twitter.

Something to smile about at least.
