In her new book, Diane Abbott describes some of the pivotal moments of her political career. These include dating Jeremy Corbyn, which involved a particularly memorable visit to Highgate cemetery.
Once, after I lamented our lack of social activity as a couple, he pondered it for a few days and told me we were going out. Feeling excited, I dressed up nicely and we bundled into the car. I had no idea where we were going – perhaps a nice wine bar? It turned out Jeremy’s idea of a social outing was to drive me to Highgate cemetery and proudly show me the tomb of Karl Marx.
Now, we would like to hear your own stories. Have you ever had a date in a particularly unusual location? Or a date that was oddly memorable in another way? How did it go? Tell us all about it below.
