Jeremy Corbyn: ‘I am NOT speaking to The Sun’

By William Turvill

A Sun reporter has accused Labour leadership frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn (pictured, Reuters) of being "rather rude".

The newspaper has also told how Corbyn "ran away" from Westminster correspondent Harry Cole yesterday, telling him: “I am NOT speaking to The Sun.”

According to the Sun Nation website, the conversation on College Green, Westminster, went:

SunNation: "Jeremy, Jeremy. Sorry to bother you, Harry Cole from the Sun."

Jeremy Corbyn: “Goodbye.”

SunNation: “I was wondering if you had a message for the Queen as she becomes the longest serving monarch on Wednesday.”

Jeremy Corbyn: “Good-BYE.”
