Read our privacy policy Jeremy Corbyn has asked journalists not to stand outside his parliamentary office in the hope of catching the latest shadow cabinet reshuffle rumours. The Labour leader emerged from his office this afternoon to find journalists waiting outside in the hope of hearing who could be in or out of Labour’s front bench team. Apparently unimpressed, Mr Corbyn told the press: “Excuse me guys, do you mind not hanging around outside my office door, could you all leave please.” Party staffers present reportedly joked that the assembled reporters looked like a “picket line”. Mr Corbyn was elected in a landslide by party members and supporters but lacks equivalent support in Labour’s parliamentary parts, where he only scraped the nomination threshold to get on the ballot paper.
