Great Britain heads to the polls for a hotly contested election on Thursday, which will shape the future of both Great Britain and the rest of the European Union.
The margins between Labour and the Tories are expected to be razor-thin, and any little bit of last-minute news, scandal, or shocking development could swing the vote.
Which is why this tweet this morning from Labour head Jeremy Corbyn stopped everyone in its tracks.
I have been informed that personal images from my past have been sent to some media outlets and are set to be released today.

Shocking, scandalous images, on the day of an election? What could be worse for the party?
Luckily for Labour, it was just a well-done Rickroll. The link leads to a site with polling information and locations.
And it worked. Just about everyone said they clicked. Or offered their own spin on the images.

I love this so much because a) it’s encouraging people to get out and vote and b) it’s making us all think about the possibility of Jeremy Corbyn dick pics ahead of the most important day of his life. https://t.co/bwpCNG3bEh
