Jeremy Corbyn’s minders tried to freeze out Elmo but they didn’t bank on his special move

After Boris Johnson’s henchmen did a not entirely brilliant job of hiding their boss from Piers Morgan yesterday, it was up to Jeremy Corbyn’s lot to deal with a different sort of menace.

Elmo.

Or rather, a protestor dressed as Elmo who tried to gatecrash the Labour leader’s photo op at a polling station today.

And they didn’t figure on Elmo’s special move.

Nicely done!

He stuck the top part on the security guy’s head! 🤣

Exactly. We especially like the minder’s ‘oi!’ as he disappears inside Elmo’s noggin.

This has rendered this entire election ENTIRELY WORTH IT.
