Jeremy Corbyn tried to high-five a colleague but ended up slapping her in the breast in embarrassing election night gaffe. He said that he didn't believe they would.

As it turns out, Labour polled at 40.3% meaning that Goodwin was going to have to literally eat his words.

A special election called by Prime Minister Teresa May, in an effort to bolster her majority in Parliament, turned into a stunning repudiation of the Tories. The reminders of his promise started after he began promoting his new book Brexit: Why Britain Voted to Leave the European Union. "I was surprised that Jeremy Corbyn got two percentage points more than I had expected, and I did say that I would eat this book", Metro news reported.

Matthew Goodwin stuffed his mouth with pages from a copy of his book on Brexit overnight during an interview with Sky News.

"I am a man of my word, so what I'm gonna do is sit here, and eat my book, while you guys carry on", Goodwin continued.

From the way that he's talking about the experience, it seems that he enjoyed his humble pie.

Later, a Sky News producer tweeted that Goodwin did not swallow the page he was munching on, the report added.
