JEREMY Corbyn turned his back on British troops to rant at music fans 200 miles away at Glastonbury as he posted a photo to mark Armed Forces Day - taken two years ago.
The Labour leader spoke on for 20 minutes on the Pyramid Stage before introducing hip hop act Run The Jewels while PM Theresa May joined hundreds of military personnel in Liverpool.
Corbs further snubbed veterans by posting a photo to mark Armed Forces Day - that was taken on Remembrance Sunday two years ago, according to .
After being introduced by Glasto boss Michael Eavis, Mr Corbyn told the crowd: “I simply say to Theresa May, if she has the time to be watching Glastonbury, we are ready for another election as soon as you like.”
He also said: "You brought the spirit of music, the spirit of love, the spirit of ideas, and you brought the spirit of great messages.
"There's a message on that wall for President Donald Trump - 'Build bridges, not walls'.
"Politics is actually about everyday life. It's about all of us, what we dream, what we want, and what we want for everybody else."
Speaking about the election, he said "the elites got it wrong", adding: "That politics that got out of the box, is not going back in any box.
"When people across the world think the same and cooperate the same in different languages different culture peace is possible.
"Let’s stop the denigration of refugees people looking for a place of safety in a cruel and dangerous world they are all human beings like us today looking to make their contribution."
The Labour leader then quoted from the Shelley poem The Masque of Anarchy, before exiting the stage to chants of his name.
The Labour leader was earlier shown being mobbed for selfies by young groupies in the Greenpeace area of the festival site.
It comes hours after fans broke out into a chant of "Oh Jeremy Corbyn" as Radiohead headlined the main stage last night.
Labour MP Yvette Cooper and hubby Ed Balls have already been snapped at the festival - queuing for showers.
The former chancellor appeared dishevelled in an unbuttoned check shirt and sandals.
Deputy Labour leader Tom Watson was also pictured partying at Glastonbury – a year after he had to dash back from the festival during a Labour coup.
And shadow chancellor John McDonnell is due to take part in a debate at the festival today- with an awkward encounter on the cards if the Labour rivals cross paths.
But Twitter users queried Corbyn's brave fashion choice of cream trousers as rain began to turn the Glastonbury site into a mud fest.
Alex wrote: "Jeremy Corbyn wearing cream trousers as glasto is one of the boldest moves I've seen in years."
