ARSENAL fan Jeremy Corbyn is well up for this weekend's North London derby - he just doesn't know what day it's on.
The Labour leader could be heard talking football with Speaker John Bercow after PMQs on Wednesday lunchtime.
After Parliament had ended, a voice believed to be Corbyn's was picked up by the chamber's microphone system saying: "Now we've just got to beat Spurs on Saturday."
Bercow agrees, declaring: "Yes. Terribly important!"
Corbyn, realising his boob, corrects himself and says: "Sunday."
