Below are a list of things that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn - based on shocking new revelations - has presumably never done.

Jeremy Corbyn has never watched Byker Grove. Jeremy Corbyn has never ordered in a takeaway for Saturday Night Takeaway.  Jeremy Corbyn has never seen a dog do a backflip on Britain's Got Talent. Jeremy Corbyn has never watched someone from The Only Way is Essex swallow a whole camel's dick on live television. Jeremy Corbyn has never got well up for the England game by listening to 'We're On The Ball', drunkenly bellowing the words, "We're on the ball, We're on the ball, We're on the ball, We're on the ball, We're on the ball, We're on the ball, We're on the ball, We're on the ball" at a BBQ. Jeremy Corbyn has never purchased a PJ & Duncan record. Jeremy Corbyn clearly didn't watch the TV coverage of the Queen's 90th birthday celebration. Jeremy Corbyn can't have done any of these things because he doesn't know who Ant & Dec are. The politician's criminal lack of pop culture knowledge was revealed in a pop quiz hosted by broadcaster Victoria Derbyshire. Corbyn was shown the Geordie presenters on a card and asked to name them. He couldn't. https://twitter.com/VictoriaLIVE/status/765840847212457984 Needless to say, people were a bit bewildered by the revelation. Some where shocked. Others applauded him.. https://twitter.com/patrick_kidd/status/765857910639431680 Some said it didn't matter... https://twitter.com/keewa/status/765854798805598208 And then there were... well, these lot. https://twitter.com/edwardpoole1975/status/765955692758990849 To make things worse, Corbyn immediately acknowledged after his gaffe that the pair had sent an email of support to the Labour Party in the past. He very quickly apologised to both members of the double act, but the damage may already have been done. We've never felt so detached from politics. Read more... thumbnail_SNAPCHATUK
