Article snippet: Labour Party candidate Jeremy Corbyn accidentally slapped a Shadow Defense Secretary in the chest instead of high-fiving her in a clip that went viral Thursday night. Corbyn and Emily Thornbery, the Shadow Defence Secretary, were celebrating their party’s better than expected returns in the U.K. election when Corbyn went for a high-five and hit Thornberry in the chest. The two laughed it off and hugged, but the clip quickly spread throughout social media. Exit poll figures from the BBC released as polls closed suggested the Conservative Party will lose seats as a result of Thursday's election, indicating the UK could be on course for a hung parliament. The results, if accurate this time, look to be a disaster for Prime Minister Theresa May of the Conservatives, who was looking to solidify and strengthen her party's majority before beginning negotiations to Brexit, or leave the European Union.
