Jeremy Corbyn had an uncomfortable day today as he was asked a series of questions by journalists after being caught bullshitting about the state of the East Coast Mainline.

Corbyn rounded on a reporter who had to remind Jeremy that it was the job of the journalist to ask the question and the job of the politician to avoid answering it.

He asked the journalist to ask about the NHS, he’s bloody lucky The Rochdale Herald wasn’t there because he would have got;

“Are you lying about the NHS like you’re lying about The East Coast Mainline?”

Not because we think he is, but because if you kick a dog you should expect to be bitten.

Having viewed the footage of the encounter Kim Jong Un, a fellow believer in nationalised industries, apparently contacted Mr Corbyn and offered to send him two dozen of his journalists who are apparently “much, much friendlier”.

Jeremy is thought to be carefully considering his offer.
