Watch: Labour supporters heckle the media

You would think that after being Labour leader for three years, some of the shine would have worn off Jeremy Corbyn. But among the devoted, ‘JC’ is still an object of veneration who can do wrong, which means of course that any criticism of him is considered blasphemy.

The Corbyn cult were in strong form today, when the Labour leader gave a speech in Hastings to set out his Brexit policy. While the crowd were initially quiet, at the first sign of a journalist asking Corbyn a difficult question (about why he would not talk with the Prime Minister about Brexit) they immediately sprang into action, booing the journalist and shouting ‘rubbish’ at him. They eventually had to be calmed down by the chairwoman.

Kinder, gentler politics once again from Labour members.
