00:03and everybody knows you had a wee fling with Jeremy Corbyn.

00:05Now, Jeremy, and I feel as if I should be giving him advice,

00:09you went on a date with him, you got yourself dressed up, where did he take you?

00:14He took me to see Karl Marx's tomb in Highgate Cemetery.

00:21That's not really what one would expect from a date, to be fair.

00:26So it didn't quite work out for you.

00:29Exactly.

00:30You know what, Diane, it sort of fizzled away, didn't it?

00:32There was no big scene or anything, because he doesn't really do that.

00:36There's no big scene, it just didn't quite work out.

00:39There was no bad feeling. Jeremy isn't like that, as you say.
