Clueless Jeremy Corbyn caught out pretending he watches Queen’s Christmas Speech – but doesn’t even know when it’s on
CLUELESS Jeremy Corbyn today claimed he watched the Queen's Speech on Christmas Day - but had no idea when it was on.
The leftie boss was asked by ITV's Tonight whether his family switched over to tune in to Her Majesty's annual message to the nation.
He replied: "It's on in the morning, usually we have it on... some of the time."
But ITV presenter Julie Etchingham pointed out that the traditional address doesn't take place until 3pm on Christmas Day.
He claimed he meant to say "when it's repeated... in the afternoon".
But Julie hit back: "You don't watch it do you Mr Corbyn?"
He claimed there was "lots to do" on the day with family and friends.
Mr Corbyn also revealed he visits a homeless shelter on December 25 too.
And he added: "We don't watch television very much on Christmas Day.
"Maybe a film in the evening."
The leftie boss claimed he would like to "do a bit of exercise on Christmas morning" to start the day.
Mr Corbyn will appear on The Leader Interviews: Jeremy Corbyn – Tonight ITV 7.30pm, Thursday (Dec 5).
