I've been watching the video over and over again. You're dancing, you've got a bucket hat on, you've got your bread. For me it's an iconic look – how much thought did you put into that outfit?

The look and the bread sort of came together, they had to come hand-in-hand I think, to really sell the bread to the people. I think the bucket hat needed to go on and the gun fingers had to come out. It all came together. I had my 3D glasses on for a bit, I don't know if anyone got any photos of that.

A lot has been made about how political Glastonbury was this year. Would you say carrying the bread out into the field was a political statement?

I would say technically it's not a political statement but I would like to think that everyone coming together and just munching on the bread...

That's inherently political.

Yeah, there you go.

Do you think Jeremy Corbyn would be proud of you?

I would hope Jeremy Corbyn would be proud of me, I'd hope so. I was proud of Jeremy Corbyn.
