Jeremy Corbyn's married spin doctor Seumas Milne caught ‘nuzzling’ mystery blonde
JEREMY CORBYN’S married spin doctor has been spotted with a glamorous Aussie blonde on a posh hotel balcony.
Labour’s Seumas Milne, 59, was pictured with his arm around high-powered lawyer Jennifer Robinson as she ‘nuzzled’ his neck on the terrace of a swanky five-star star hotel in London’s trendy Shoreditch.
The father-of-two, who quit the Guardian newspaper in October 2015 to work for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, is married to Cristina Montanari.
A witness to the liaison at the Courthouse Hotel told the Guido Fawkes blog: “They were there for a good hour or so. They were very hands on, full on heavy petting.”
At one point she had her head nestled into his shoulder
Another witness told The Sun: “He was drinking a pink cocktail and she was in her early to mid-30s.
“We were at a work event that had half the terrace booked off.
“They had a table to themselves in the public section of the balcony.
“At one point she had her head nestled into his shoulder.”
The Australian lawyer, who represented Julian Assange is also a pal of George Clooney’s wife Amal Clooney.
Ms Robinson, 36, joined the WikiLeaks founder’s legal team in October 2010, just before Swedish authorities issued a European arrest warrant in relation to rape and sexual assault allegations, according to The Times.
It remains unclear how Miss Robinson knows Mr Assange, but has been reported she visited him at the Ecuadorean embassy in London in the past 16 months.
Miss Robinson now works for Doughty Street Chambers in London, which represented Mr Corbyn in his High Court battle last year to ensure he was included on the Labour leadership ballot.
She is also a vocal supporter of Mr Corbyn and tweeted a series of messages backing him during election night, according to the Times.
When asked to comment on the photos, Mr Milne told The Sun: “I don’t think so.”
The Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn’s press office also declined to comment on the pictures when contacted by Express.co.uk.
A spokesman said: “We will not be commenting and our position is unlikely to change.”
When an Express.co.uk reporter called the office of Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell for clarification she was subjected to an ill-mannered barrage of abuse and was called “disgusting” and “pathetic”.
The Labour-ite couple’s choice of meeting place is a long way from a traditionalist’s view of Labour typified by Harold Wilson’s famous “beer and sandwiches” Labour Party. The hotel is a favourite with the capital’s media types as well as and moneybags city boys from the Square Mile.
Oxford-educated Mr Milne lives in Richmond, south-west London, and married private tutor Ms Montanari in 1992 and the pair have an adult son and daughter.
Mr Milne was appointed associate editor for The Guardian after working there for 32 years as a columnist, comment editor and labour correspondent.
Express.co.uk also contacted Doughty Street Chambers who said they would not comment on matters surrounding personal lives.
