Jeremy Corbyn’s Christmas drinks – Chilcot, trouser-gate and pork pies

Since Jeremy Corbyn was elected Labour leader, the party has struggled when it comes to forging a positive relationship with the MSM (mainstream media). Right wing press aside, Corbyn has taken issue with coverage from the BBC, New Statesman, The Guardian, the Mirror and Channel Four. However, are times a-changin’?

Last night journalists were welcomed into the Leader’s Office for Corbyn’s Christmas drinks. True to form, Corbyn stayed on brand — using a box Chilcot Reports as a handy door stopper. However, in a sign that he is willing to compromise in order to appeal to the masses, the vegetarian lay on a spread of chicken legs and pork pies for hungry hacks. As guests sipped on mulled wine, Corbyn explained that he would have to make an early exit to go shopping with Nicky Morgan; ‘I wouldn’t dream of wearing any old rubbish pair of trousers costing a thousand quid’.

‘I’m sorry there’s very few seats for everyone to sit down, but I asked Virgin Trains to sponsor the event and they very kindly agreed to do that.
