Jeremy Corbyn made a genuinely funny joke and Theresa May’s face made it so much better
There are so many ways in which the House of Commons isn’t what it used to be, the exchanges between the so-called prime minister and the so-called leader of the opposition being one of them.
And yet occasionally along comes a moment which makes you forget what a complete shitshambles the whole place is and – yes – it actually makes you smile.
This Jeremy Corbyn joke – and Theresa May’s reaction – is one of those moments.
I don't think the prime minister enjoyed this opening gag from Corbyn very much. pic.twitter.com/Ad6QoS7jOy

Opinion, as ever, was divided on Twitter.
That is a good gag 😂

So 1 good joke at the despatch box in *3 whole years* doesn’t make a summer. Guess what, he’s so dim he didn’t think it up either.
