Britain’s Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn was having a better election night than many predicted on Thursday, gaining ground on Prime Minister Theresa May after some exit polls predicted that the Tories would fall short of an absolute majority.

Instead of meeting Thornberry’s hand, the Labour leader ended up slapping her chest.
