The Times’ Matt Chorley found himself in a scrap with Rebecca Long-Bailey spinner Matt Zarb Cousin this morning when pointing out that Long-Bailey conducted an interview in which she tried to distance herself from Corbyn… inside one of Corbyn’s office rooms. Zarb-Cousin tried to hit back with what looks like a denial…
That’s not Corbyn’s office it’s a meeting room in Norman Shaw South, the building where Rebecca’s office is

However, as with other Matt Zarb Cousin denials, this one quickly fell apart…
Sounds like you’re rowing back there Matt 🚣♀️ is it his office or a boardroom

Long-Bailey’s interview was in Corbyn’s suite of offices. Zarb-Cousin, who used to work for Jezza, claiming that this is materially different from inside his core office, seems to be a stretch…
If Jeremy happened to be pottering about in the background I might think you’d have a point

As ever Guido will let you decide who won…
