Jeremy Corbyn joked that he would seek employment as a Boris Johnson impersonator after receiving Thursday night’s exit poll that predicted a heavy defeat for Labour.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, Brexit Party candidate Yosef David – who took on Mr Corbyn in his Islington North constituency – said that Mr Corbyn had been “incredibly friendly” at the count.
“He did a funny Boris impression,” Mr David said. “We had a bit of a laugh.”
The two were pictured (above) smiling while in conversation at the constituency count.
When Mr Corbyn gave his re-election speech and said “we did not descend into the gutter”, Mr David – who is Jewish – is visible in the background raising his eyebrows and beginning to scoff.
