Will the real Jeremy Corbyn stand up….

…. and if so, will the BBC help him to his feet? He didn’t sing the national anthem because he doesn’t know the words Er, or perhaps he does know the words but he was thinking of something else. (Well, at least he stood for it.) He will participate fully in future commemorations but cannot or will not say whether that will extend to exercising his vocal chords. He first … Continue reading
