Winter of Discontent

Peter Brookes cartoon 24.03.2015

The Times cartoonist Peter Brookes re-imagines the Labour leader Ed Miliband as Richard III, whose short reign as King of England was put to the sword at the Battle of Bosworth Feld in 1485.

Richard assumed the throne in controversial circumstances and in Shakespeare's famous play the deformed monarch is portrayed as a malevolent, villainous schemer.

Make of that what you will.
