Jeremy Corbyn spotted relaxing in North London cafe with his wife Laura Alvarez hours after surprise general election gains – but who’s he phoning?
JEREMY Corbyn has been pictured celebrating his surprise election gains with wife Laura Alvarez in a North London cafe.
The Labour leader kept it low key as he revelled in Theresa May's Conservative party losing 12 seats, leading to a hung parliament.
He was enjoying a hot drink at Girasole, an Italian on Seven Sisters Road in the capital.
Corbyn was chatting away on the phone while his wife smiled - seemingly also delighted at the election result.
"It took some time to get a clear shot because of the crowds and when we exited the cafe there was a crowd plus TV cameras.
"He was taking pictures with supporters and I was asked by a few to take pictures on their phones.
"It was interesting to also see his wife, as up until this morning I didn't know he was married.
"Many congratulated him on a good campaign, which he seemed happy to receive.

"I'm not a Labour supporter, nor one of Corbyn but I must say he ran a very good campaign in comparison to May who quite frankly and most disappointingly ran one based on a mix of ego and hubris."
