This morning, some people unexpectedly got a request on social media: Jeremy Corbyn wanted to join their network on LinkedIn.

Nooooooooooooo! Not bloody LinkedIn as well!

The Labour leader has already conquered Twitter, Facebook and increasingly Snapchat. Now we’re doomed to get even more LinkedIn requests as well.

But something is odd.

Many of those who got requests were… let’s just say, not known fans of the Labour leader.

That included some people who had been purged from Labour membership

Jonny Will Chambers, a vociferous critic of Corbyn, was suspended from the Labour party last month.

Others told Political Scrapbook that they too, unexpectedly had gotten a request from Corbyn this morning

Why is Corbyn trying to up his LinkedIn conections? Secretly looking for a new job, hey? We've all had those days…'gotta get 500' pic.twitter.com/iExJD0SfWe — Katherine Wylie (@katherine_wylie) September 20, 2016

It has even prompted some sarcastic jealous complaints

Is the Labour leader trying to build a new network amongst the business community?

Or is he reaching out to critics after his expected win this weekend?
