Under-fire Jeremy Corbyn spells OWN name wrong – and the internet reacts accordingly

THE internet always gives the best reactions – and its response to Jeremy Corbyn spelling his own name wrong delivers the goods.

FACEPALM: Jeremy Corbyn's typo caused the internet to react

It's not been the best of weeks for the under-fire Labour leader – and he's given us another facepalm moment.

If he's not facing intensifying calls to quit, he's being mocked by the out-going Prime Minister andforcing his own MP to leave a meeting in tears after comparing Israel to ISIS.

Corbyn later penned a defiant e-mail to supporters with the staunch intro: "United we stand, divided we fall is one of the oldest and truest slogans of the Labour movement".

ORIGINAL POST: Jeremy Corbyn signed off his e-mail spelling his surname "Corybn"

It all went so well, until he signed off the e-mail: "Jeremy Corybn".

Naturally, the internet reacted in the best way possible – making lighthearted fun out of the situation.

A spoof Twitter feed under the name @jeremy_corybn was also set up in minutes.

Hello I'm Jeremy, I am planning to lead the @labour party

The message has since been updated with the correct spelling of his surname "Corbyn".
