One person tweeted: “Corbyn is pathetic. He's still in a position (though goodness knows why) of having to work in opposition for now.
“He continues to drive down Labour's popularity and strength with this attitude. He has to resign rather than sulk. He is the problem not the solution.”
Another said: “Not sure how Corbyn can really reconcile his claimed civility in politics, his refusal to get personal and his pathetic and childish passive aggressive attitude.
“Banging car doors, blanking Boris, being evasive with journalists. He's like a teenager.”
One user said that Boris Johnson "can't stop smiling and Corbyn looks like he's about to cry".
