CORBYN’S DAY FROM HELL
Jez runs over cameraman, then Len falls down stairs
JEREMY Corbyn’s bid for election votes turned into a complete car crash yesterday.
First Labour’s manifesto was leaked – then his car ran over a cameraman.
The Labour leader sparked further chaos when he pulled out of a poster launch in London, leaving young activists bewildered.
And the “Carry On Corbyn”-style embarrassment continued when Unite union chief Len McCluskey slipped on steps and ended up on his backside.
The leaked manifesto was regarded as the most radical since Michael Foot’s in 1983, which was dubbed “the longest suicide note in history”. Experts said they could not fathom out how Corbyn would pay for the planned £650billion decade-long spending spree.
The draft manifesto suggested a future Labour government would take full control over the National Grid and re-nationalise railways and the Royal Mail, while also setting up publicly-owned bus firms.
Existing power companies will continue, but a new publicly-owned competitor would be established in every region of the UK.
Mr Corbyn had to hastily change his schedule after the leak.
And he looked shaken as he peered through his car’s rear windscreen after it ran over BBC cameraman Giles Wooltorton.
Union leader McCluskey had been at a manifesto meeting before he took his tumble.
One fed-up Labour voter moaned: “Any hopes we had of making a contest of the election seem to have been summed up when Len fell flat on his a *se. We look out for the count.”
