'Since he won the election' Jeremy Corbyn ridiculed by comedian in hilarious BBC quiz
JEREMY CORBYN was ridiculed in a hilarious BBC sketch show for acting as if he won the general election in June.
Jeremy Corbyn mocked for believing Labour 'won the election'
The Labour Party leader was greeted with cheers as he spoke at the party’s conference in Brighton earlier this week.
Mr Corbyn was targeted on BBC’s The News Quiz by Holly Walsh for acting like he won the general election.
She said: “This is the Labour Party conference. This was obviously a big event for Jeremy Corbyn since he won the election.”
The BBC audience erupted in hysterics after the remark before the presenter continued with her dig at Mr Corbyn before she turned on the Liberal Democrats.
She added: “Everybody there treated him like he did win it. They were doing sort of football chants, with ‘oh Jeremy Corbyn’.
“I think they should do that at all party conferences, like Tories, ‘you’re going home in a Bupa ambulance’. Or the Lib Dems, ‘Is this a library?’
“Jeremy Corbyn’s good at speeches. He’s like a folk singer who is now doing the O2.”
Mr Corbyn said his party was “on the threshold of power” as he urged the Tories to “pull themselves together”, during his speech at the party conference.

This was obviously a big event for Jeremy Corbyn since he won the election
The left-wing politician claimed a “new consensus” had emerged over the past decade which means Labour is now the party of “mainstream” voters.
He said: “It is often said that elections can only be won from the centre ground. And in a way that’s not wrong - so long as it’s clear that the political centre of gravity isn’t fixed or unmovable, nor is it where the establishment pundits like to think it is.”
The Labour Party secured 262 seats at the general election in June, short of the Conservative party's 318.
Mr Corbyn conceded the party “didn’t quite achieve enough and remain in opposition” before adding optimistically that Labour had “become a government in waiting.”
