‘Photobomb:’ Jeremy Corbyn hits back at controversy with ‘five star’ banter

Last week Angela Rayner claimed she didn’t know Jeremy Corbyn was going to be present at an event they were photographed at together supporting Brent North MP Barry Gardiner’s Private Members’ Bill.

The deputy Labour leader claimed that the MP for Islington North “photobombed” her after she was criticised for posing with someone who is “currently suspended from Labour for anti-Semitism”.

Rayner was ridiculed online with people uploading their own deliberate photos with Corbyn and joking he had photobombed them as well.

Here is one example, of many.

Corbyn banter

In response, last night Corbyn’s son Tommy posted a pic of the three siblings with the ex-Labour leader ‘photobombing’ in the background.

The tweet read: “Nice Father’s Day meal out with my brothers, ruined.”

Another son Seb Corbyn also followed up with a tweet, writing: “A spokesperson for me and my two brothers will be making it very clear- we had no idea our dad would be there when we agreed to a come along to the fathers day meal. Honestly @AngelaRayner, we can’t believe he’s still doing this.”

Jeremy also posted a more emotional tweet, about father’s day, earlier on Sunday.

A lot of people loved his jibe at Rayner and replied on twitter.

Angela Rayner also seems to have forgotten this pic.

He also had a comment to make about John Bercow switching allegiances to the labour party.
