Today’s big question. Do three rights make a left? Jeremy Corbyn doesn’t think so. Do you?
It’s the big question of the day, prompted by Jeremy Corbyn’s not-as-clever-as-he-thinks line that the government was “hurtling down the road to Brexit with a broken satnav system telling them to turn right, right and right again”.
Hmm, suggested a journalist from Sky News at a news conference today which was totally overshadowed by Labour’s pisspoor by election performance. Don’t three rights make a left?
Corbyn: Tories want to go right, right and right again.
Sky hack: surely three rights made a left?
Corbyn: "Not sure about your logic."

Cue mass of head scratching on Twitter.
@PickardJE Doesn't it get them back to where they started??

I've done a drawing on my notepad @markdavies67 and you seem to end up in opposite direction.

@PickardJE @markdavies67 I think it depends on whether Tories are driving forward then turning right or immediately driving off rightwards

@PickardJE @markdavies67 can anyone clarify this with JC?

And still there was no consensus. Brexit negotiations should be a piece of piss compared to this.
Corbyn's onto something here. The Sky Hack has assumed 90° turns. Three sharp rights would be still right. Well done Jeremy. https://t.co/ZhA4niVgPl

My year 7 classes could tell Corbyn that if you make three rights you end up going left. https://t.co/m7LP51ZpXc

Maybe this is the definitive answer.
