Jeremy Corbyn at the British Kebab Awards: 'hands up those kebab shops that don't sell falafel'

As the leader of the Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn is a busy man these days. So busy in fact that he was unable to attend last week’s Scottish Labour conference. Happily, Corbyn did manage to find time, however, to attend last night’s British Kebab Awards.

Politicians, kebab shop owners and meat-lovers alike gathered in the Westminster Plaza hotel for the annual awards which celebrate the best of the British kebab industry. While David Cameron was unable to make the Just Eat event — instead opting to send a message of support, Corbyn managed to make history. As his Labour comrade Keith Vaz — who is classed as ‘core group negative’ in the leaked Corbynista list of Labour MPs — explained, Corbyn is the first leader of a major political party to attend:

‘I think it’s great that for the first time ever we have a leader of a political party here — Jeremy Corbyn — and I checked very carefully, I am in the right group.’
