Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn mistakenly slapped the chest of a female politician in a failed attempt to high-five her over England’s exit poll results.
Early polls from Thursday’s election indicated the Labour Party will pick up a few Parliament seats from the Conservative Party. The news prompted Corbyn to celebrate with Shadow Defense Secretary Emily Thornberry.

The two politicians were standing side-by-side at an election night event with their hands in the air. Just as Thornberry put her hand down, Corbyn went in for a high-five, but his hand breezed through the air and fell onto Thornberry’s right breast.
They laughed off the incident, and Thornberry made little show over it.
