Jeremy Corbyn’s confident performance on The Andrew Marr Show was topped off with a witty one-liner when asked if he’s in it for the long term.
His response? “Look at me, I’ve got youth on my side.”

"Look at me. I've got youth on my side."- Jeremy Corbyn. Double entendre with irony – maximum points, a perfect 10. #CorbynWins #Marr

Even among some of his critics.
Marr to @jeremycorbyn: 'Are you in this for the long term?'
Corbyn: 'Look at me, I've got youth on my side!'
Hilarious. He's loving this. ??— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 11, 2017
Still have Corbyn reservations. But saying “look at me I’ve got youth on my side” when #Marr asks if he’s in it for long term was beautiful.
