Jeremy Corbyn has only ever favourited 24 tweets on Twitter - and some of them are hilarious

Jeremy Corbyn has 219,000 followers on Twitter, and that massive social media army is one of the reasons he swept to power as the new leader of the Labour Party. It's also one of the reasons he feels confident enough to ignore the UK's mainstream media, whose paparazzi behavior he disdains.

But until a few months ago, when his leadership campaign suddenly came from nowhere to dominate the race, few people paid much attention to Corbyn's tweets. He has been on Twitter since 2010 and written nearly 4,000 tweets. But in that time he has only favourited 24 tweets from other people - a relatively tiny number.
