With Labour in turmoil, Owen Smith and Angela Eagle have both spent their Sunday explaining why they should be the one to challenge Jeremy Corbyn for the leadership. So with a leadership contest looming, how has Corbyn spent the weekend? Catching Pokémon, it turns out.
In a short film for the BBC, the beleaguered Labour leader can be seen trying out Pokémon Go, the new phone app currently taking over the world. Unfortunately Corbyn hits an initial bump in the road after Seumas Milne — his director of strategy and communications — stands in the way of Corbyn’s phone. Happily, they overcome this and his efforts are soon rewarded when Corbyn manages to catch the character Krabby; ‘our work this morning has not been in vain’.
Vive la Revolution!
