“Loads of Corbyn’s staff were there and nobody was annoyed. It wasn’t a big deal at all.
“They did sing Things Can Only Get Better but that’s because at every single Labour Party karaoke that has ever existed people do.
“Jeremy was long gone by that point. He wasn’t even there when that happened.” ....”
