What's the difference between a "lunge" and "turning around"? Jeremy Corbyn, apparently.

The press pack around the Labour leader, as he departed the 'Love Islington, Say No to Hate Crime' rally on Saturday in Highbury, hurled questions to him about the pressure on his leadership:

At which point the leader turned around, rather abruptly and said:

If you want to arrange an interview then speak to my press office, thank you.

Mind you, you should judge for yourself.
