Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
He's the gift that keeps on giving.....
This quote from a BBC interview on the 16th September referred to in the Grauniad
Quote:
Jeremy Corbyn has raised the prospect that he would push for a change to the ceremony in which the Queen makes him a privy counsellor after he was told he would have to bend his knee to the monarch.
Corbyn, a republican, balked at the prospect when he was informed that kneeling was part of the process, saying he was unfamiliar with the protocol and would have to discuss the best response with his advisers.
In a BBC interview, Corbyn, who was elected as Labour leader on Saturday with a landslide 59.5% of the vote, said he had not been invited to join the privy council, a largely ceremonial body of advisers to the Queen, contrary to a Downing Street statement released on Monday.

The Queen has been pleased to approve the appointment of Jeremy Corbyn MP as a member of the Privy Council.

He's obviously not checked his post or email....
