JEREMY Corbyn has offered his absolute support to Rebecca Long Bailey if she becomes leader.

Despite vowing not to intervene in the Labour leadership race, the outgoing leader has filmed a video with the far-left candidate to replace him.

Jeremy Corbyn promised his “absolute support”

Ms Long-Bailey has repeatedly blasted claims she was Continuity Corbyn, but now appears to be using the disastrous MP to bolster her faltering campaign.

She said: When Im leader of the party youll be supporting me as a green revolutionary and were going to have to build that movement outside of the party to pressure this government until the next general election takes place.

Mr Corbyn replied: Absolute support.

It came in a bizarre video where Mr Corbyn revealed he turned the heating off to help the environment.

After Ms Long-Bailey had said its freezing, Mr Corbyn said: No, no, this is part of the green industrial revolution.

Ive turned the heating off.

Mr Corbyn had previously vowed: “I won’t be saying who I’ll be voting for”.

With Ms Long-Bailey now set to lose to Keir Starmer, and ally Richard Burgon likely to miss out on the deputy leadership role, he has filmed videos with both of them.

The wannabe Labour leader said earlier this month Mr Corbyn would get a top job because she loves him.

Rebecca Long Bailey has told supporters she will hand the failed leader a high-level brief if she is party boss.

The shadow Business Secretary rates the outgoing Labour chief 10 out of 10 despite the partys dismal election result.

Asked if she will give him a government job if she is PM, she said: Id like to but I dont know whether he wants to do it because he said not.

She added: Its up to him. I love him so.

Labour members are now voting for the new leader, with Sir Keir and Ms Long-Bailey also up against Lisa Nandy.

The winner will be announced on April 4.
