Jeremy Corbyn: David Cameron is jealous of my clothes

Yesterday PMQs descended into ‘Punch and Judy’ style politics after David Cameron responded to a heckle about his mother by laying into Jeremy Corbyn’s fashion sense. David Cameron criticised Corbyn’s shabby appearance:

‘Put on a proper suit, do up your tie and sing the national anthem.’

However rather than take the criticism on board, it appears that the Labour leader has gone into denial mode. Preparing for a television interview with Sky News this morning, Corbyn claimed Cameron is actually just jealous:

‘He is actually jealous of the jacket. You know what he is really jealous of? That I can go shopping in the greatest shopping centre in the world Holloway Road, N7, and he has to stick with Bond Street.’

Mr S will keep an eye out in the coming weeks for any signs that Cameron has been inspired by Corbyn’s shabby ‘chic’ look.
