When Jeremy Corbyn ducked a question, the internet had the perfect response

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn demanded that Prime Minister Theresa May reveals full details on the government’s plans for leaving the EU in a speech following the High Court ruling that parliament must be involved in Brexit.

But when a journalist then asked Corbyn if he would welcome an early general election, he was slightly less outspoken.

The silence from Corbyn is extra confusing because he told the Mirror he would force May to hold an election early next year if she doesn’t agree to Labour’s terms for Brexit, including retaining access to the single market, and maintaining EU workplace rights.
