With Trump safely secluded away in New Jersey where the only damage he can do is over Twitter and with a golf club, the world looks elsewhere for its outrage. They found it in UK Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn helping a woman with her baby carriage.
Jeremy Corbyn. You are an absolute diamond. @jeremycorbynpic.twitter.com/sTO35cWxYd

The video, originally posted by one of his staffers, shows the leader of the Labour party literally just assisting a woman in lifting up a carriage. It’s worth noting that nearly everybody in the modern world has a camera with them at all times in their pocket, staffers or otherwise. And, stunt or not, it’s still a pretty low-stakes situation in general. There’s no political platform being espoused here.
It’s the most light-hearted, insignificant story ever, and it would be insane for anyone to have an extreme reaction. So, obviously, the anti-labour contingent was pissed. Here are some tweets proving that Hell hath no fury like a bunch of bored Brits on a Tuesday:
I like how Corbyn helped a woman with a pram and it was all perfectly captured on camera. The complete and utter fraud.

Did the mother and bsby get an appearance fee from the Labour Party?

Good way to bury negative press

This is a “I love my size 14 wife” level of low bar to clear. Who doesn’t help people with push chairs? pic.twitter.com/MYn7mHrVAs

Corbyn does decent thing helps a lady with her pram, hailed a sign of his true character. I did the same recently, do I stand for office ?

Tobias Ellwood tried to save a dying man, but all Tories are evil. Jeremy Corbyn helped someone with a pram, and it proves he’s a saint. https://t.co/pGSRNqdhRE

‘I helped you carry your pram up stairs when there was a ramp, by the way welfare cuts that hit you are in MY manifesto’, @jeremycorbyn

“captured by Mr Corbyn’s press officer and posted on Snapchat” Change to ‘Labour lurkers find women with pram for photo op’

“The moment was filmed by Mr Corbyn’s press officer “

Tobias Ellwood MP went to help a dying policeman on London Bridge but that pales into insignificance besides the Corbyn pram story. https://t.co/hoLx37ISVn

Vote for Jeremy Corbyn and he’ll carry your pram up the stairs. https://t.co/Bi5is28DZC

Stay tuned for tomorrow when Jeremy Corbyn allows someone with only a “few things” go before him at the supermarket checkout.

We can ignore all of Jeremy Corbyn’s faults because he helped a woman carry a pram is my new favourite reason why Jeremy Corbyn is great.

You know what would’ve been nice? If Corbyn’s press officer had also helped with the pram instead of filming it for publicity.

Hey, Corbyn, would you have helped the poor souls in this video too or is it just a staged pram lift you’re good at https://t.co/9zLwigtwC4https://t.co/n8Z0i1FBJt

Helping someone who is struggling with a pram does not make someone a hero. It makes them normal. #Corbynhttps://t.co/RmyDcsfD27

Corbyn in a tight corner over Venezuela. Press officer – “I know, photo op” Ah there’s a pram. Wheel in the Saint & post to fans. Job done.

Guys, was it Corbyn’s press officer who filmed him helping to carry that pram up the stairs?
— Chaminda Jayanetti (@1000cuts) August 8, 2017
Corbyn helps a woman with a pram and gets eulogized. Gosh, such sycophancy.
— Nicholas Cox (@revnickc) August 8, 2017
This is totally sane and normal.
