WATCH: Jeremy Corbyn takes on a rock climbing wall

Spider Corbs, Spider Corbs, does whatever a Spider Corbs… does

After Theresa May dancing exploits on Wednesday during the Tory party conference, an event of such monumental cringe proportions that it has put the entire world off ABBA, forever, it appears that Jeremy Corbyn has got the PR bug.

Fortunately for him, the Labour leader’s scaling of an indoor rock wall in Leeds was actually genuinely quite impressive, given his age.

A crucial difference to being toe-curlingly pathetic, given her age. And position. And circumstances surrounding the conference. And complete lack of respect for the Great British public.

Anyway, here is Corbyn, 69-years-old, in his work clothes and shoes, getting about halfway up an indoor rock climbing wall.

Hey, I don’t know what else you were expecting.

Turning to camera, roughly only about five feet off the actual ground, and stating “The future’s better with Labour… even higher with Labour!” is a fantastic bit of improvisation, I don’t care what anybody thinks.
