Peep Show’s Robert Webb cancels Labour party membership after slamming Jeremy Corbyn
Comedian Robert Webb has revealed that he has cancelled his Labour party membership.
The British actor, who is currently starring in the final series of Peep Show, announced the news on Twitter after slamming party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
After a public conversation on the social media site with writer and Labour supporter Hopi Sen, Webb decided to address his followers.
He said that, despite not wanting to make a ‘big deal’ of it, he didn’t want to “stick with all the posturing t**ts.”
