Will June be the end of May? Election news…Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn gave presenters of the One Show pots of jam made from his allotment . Corbyn has said he will not give up his allotment if he becomes prime minister.
The Labour leader said he believed he would be able to fit in time for digging, planting and pruning around his busy schedule at No 10 and that working on the allotment would help him as prime minister by giving him “time to think”.Corbyn, a vegetarian, has long tended a plot in East Finchley, near his north London home, where he grows maize, beans and pumpkins as well as fruit to make jam.
Asked whether there was any part of him which would prefer to be on the allotment rather than in No 10, he told Channel 4 News: “It’s possible to do both because if you grow plants and look after your garden, it gives you time to think, it gives you a connection with the natural world and makes you stronger in everything else you do.”
As one joker announced “This election is a win win situation for allotment holders. If Corbyn wins he is one of them and will be supportive, if the Tories get back in….. millions will need allotments to feed themselves.”
