Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur: Jeremy Corbyn is bridging one of the most bitter divides in football

After attending the Remembrance Day services at the Cenotaph in central London on Sunday afternoon, Jeremy Corbyn not only found time to take pictures with veterans and read a Wilfred Owen poem in his north London constituency, but he also went to watch his favourite football team: Arsenal.

The Labour leader was approached by a man near the Emirates stadium, where Corbyn had been attending a protest about low pay, before the team's game against bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

As the man went for a handshake, here's what was said:

Man:

I'm a Spurs fan, Mr Corbyn.

Corbyn:

Oh.

Man:

You've got to be our next prime minister.

Corbyn:

Thank you.

Man:

You have to be.

Corbyn:

Even for a Spurs supporter?

Man:

Definitely.
