"Psychodrama"

This one is a lot more about Labour, and the first to feature Keir Starmer. If things play out as expected over the next few weeks, he won't be sticking around for long. I chose to depict Labour politicians as skeletons due to how under Starmer, their policies and reputation are barebone. Not to mention how the party has undergone rebirth a number of times in recent decades, and that they serve as a reminder for mortality, since they're on the way out along with the Tories.

The context for this is much more relevant to current events. This was about Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham being blocked from standing in the Gorton and Denton by-election, which will come up later. The term 'psychodrama' was thrown about by supporters of this decision who wanted the fiasco to be over with, so that they could then go on to lose to the Greens.
