How appropriate that the first opportunity for This Writer to press Facebook’s new ‘Fake News’ reporting button was a story by the Mail.

It’s also in the Mirror, apparently, as this is the news source Jess Phillips – mentioned in the story – quoted when she debunked it on Twitter:

Can I just say as someone who was there this did not happen https://t.co/iPTZkBpD3y — Jess Phillips MP (@jessphillips) December 18, 2016

This Writer has had differences with Ms Phillips in the past; she has been a vociferous critic of Mr Corbyn. That is why I believe her on this.

So, please, follow my example and report the Daily Mail as a ‘fake news’ provider.

Considering the face that the Mail has more than seven million followers on the social media site, and therefore is likely to bring in quite a bit of cash, that should give Facebook an interesting dilemma.

Jeremy Corbyn walked out of a Christmas karaoke party for Labour MPs where they sang Tony Blair’s 1997 Election-winning anthem Things Can Only Get Better accompanied by chants of: ‘We Want Tony!’ The humiliated Opposition leader left as MPs insulted him at the noisy booze-up. They also sang The Beatles’ Back In The USSR – an attack on him for failing to take a tougher line over Russia’s bombing of Aleppo in Syria – and Madonna’s Like A Virgin, a dig at his ridiculed claim to have been forced to sit on the floor of a crowded Virgin train. Dozens of Labour MPs joined arms to sing D-Ream’s Things Can Only Get Better and used their own secret ‘anti-Corbyn’ WhatsApp messaging system to mock him and Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, defiantly posting a video of themselves in full voice.
