Conor Heneghan

This is like something that would happen in a school classroom.

Except it wasn’t in a school classroom, it was in Parliament across the pond in London today, where Jeremy Corbyn was addressing the audience about David Cameron’s recent EU negotiations.

When speaking about his own experience of meeting heads of Government in Brussels last week, Corbyn was rudely interrupted by a Conservative MP, whose cheap shot at the Labour leader resulted in uproarious laughter in the house.

Poor Jeremy.
