It's the little things. Radio Four listeners are practically certain to vote, and Keir Starmer will be on Desert Island Discs tomorrow morning.
But in five years as Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn was never on it. Still mildly famous, he still never has been. You are either in the club, or you are not.
I am a declared and active candidate for the parliamentary seat of North West Durham at the next General Election. Please give generously.
Corbyn was on, this was his playlist:
ReplyDeleteThe Israelites – Desmond Dekker
Should I stay or Should I Go – The Clash
( You won’t get me I’m) Part of the Union – Strawbs
Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word – Elton John
Invisible – Alison Moyet
Go Now - Fleetwood Mac
Congratulations to a genuine old cool kid like Lauren Laverne on having managed to keep a straight face when Starmer claimed to have been an Orange Juice fan. Course you were, Keir. And I was into Skunk Anansie.
DeleteStill, at least he didn't do what they often do and affect a profound appreciation of the most difficult and obscure pieces of classical music, complete with cock and bull anecdotes.
