It's the hunt-your-own-monster game that's taken the world by storm - and now Jeremy Corbyn 's got involved.

The Labour leader got shown the ropes on Pokemon GO by a reporter who caught a Krabby in his favourite park.

You'd think tracking scheming creatures and isolating them in a ball might be a revelation to the embattled Labour leader.

But as it happens, he didn't look so bothered.

Mr Corbyn looked on as BBC journalist Adam Fleming caught a crab-shaped creature in London's Finsbury Park.

He then replied: "We caught Krabby, OK. So our work this morning has not been in vain."

We can only assume the raised eyebrow was implied.

It came as the pair took a stroll in the north London beauty spot to discuss the upcoming Labour leadership election prompted by a challenge from rivals Angela Eagle and Owen Smith.

Mr Corbyn, who is mulling a legal challenge to rules that have blocked new members from voting in the election, said the rules were "simply not very fair".

While a crow crowed overhead, he said there would be "quite intense discussions" over the rules including the "not really reasonable" £25 fee for non-members or new members to vote.

"People have stopped me in the street and said 'I'd love to vote in this election but I can't afford the £25'," he said.

And he said it was a "big mistake" to cancel all constituency party meetings over claims of intimidation.

Some of the concerns were over rooms being too small, he said, adding: "There's a fairly simple answer to that. Get a bigger room."

In between getting spontaneous hugs from his constituents, Mr Corbyn revealed he's still managing to produce a vegetable crop despite the pressures of leadership.

He said: "However busy I am, my allotment is tended. It's in good order. We had a good crop of broad beans and we ate them the other night. We had a lovely bean soup."
