Tom Watson and Jeremy Corbyn haven’t always been the best of pals but Mr S is pleased to see that Labour’s deputy leader was fully behind Corbyn at PMQs today. In fact, Watson seemed so supportive of his boss for a change that he applauded Corbyn’s questioning of the Prime Minister with a ‘dab’. The ‘dab’ – which involves hiding your face in the crook of your elbow, while stretching both arms out in a skyward salute – has been hailed as the latest ‘goal celebration craze‘ among football players, so it’s good to see Watson is in touch with popular culture. Labour’s deputy leader also joins the likes of failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in having a go at ‘dabbing’:
Watson has said before that, after a rocky period for Labour, the party needed to ‘get the band back together‘. Mr S thinks that if they want to succeed, Watson might want to work on his dance moves.
