But then that’s the thing about Corbyn, isn’t it? He looks at every situation and thinks, I’m going to do precisely the opposite of everyone else. I’m going to hold up my middle finger to all of you, and defy the whip an incredible 428 times. I’m going to be resolutely anti-British, support the IRA, take pictures of manhole covers, and give Diane Abbott a lift on the back of my motorbike through the unusual holiday destination of East Germany.
