Mystery blonde pictured cuddling up to Corbyn’s married PR guru Seumas Milne is named as Julian Assange’s lawyer and friend of celebs (and yes, a Corbynista)
THE “mystery blonde” snapped kissing Jeremy Corbyn’s married PR guru has been revealed as a high-flying lawyer whose clients include Julian Assange and is pals with Amal Clooney.
Labour party sources have confirmed the woman pictured smooching father-of-two Seumas Milne, 59, at a swanky London hotel is Jennifer Robinson, 36, who works for a firm which has represented the opposition leader, reports .
Robinson, from New South Wales, Australia, is reportedly a “close confidante” of human rights lawyer Amal Clooney and attended her lavish wedding to Hollywood actor George in Venice in 2014.
The glamorous Aussie joined Wikileaks founder Assange’s legal team in October 2010, two months after Swedish authorities issued him an arrest warrant for rape and sexual assault allegations.
Robinson was sensationally stopped from boarding a flight at Heathrow Airport in April 2012 and was “told she was on a watchlist preventing her from travelling”, reports The Times.
While it is unclear where Robinson met Corbyn's key comrade, an embassy source told The Times that Milne has visited Assange at the Ecuadorean embassy – where the controversial leaker has been living since 2012 – in the past 16 months.
Labour toff Milne, who previously worked as a Marxist-sympathising journalist for The Guardian, has been married to 60-year-old former advertising exec Cristina Montanari since 1992.
The left-wing couple live in a £2million house in Richmond, Surrey and have a 27-year-old daughter and a 24-year-old son.
Educated at £38,000-a-year Winchester College and Oxford University, he earned a reputation as a “ladies man” throughout his career, according to colleagues.
And Milne caused a stir when he was spotted canoodling with Robinson at the Courthouse Hotel in Shoreditch.
A witness said: "He was drinking a pink cocktail and she was in her early to mid-30s. We were at a work event that had half the terrace booked off.

"They had a table to themselves in the public section of the balcony. At one point she had her head nestled into his shoulder.”
Robinson works for London law firm Doughty Street Chambers which represented Corbyn last year during his High Court battle to ensure he was included on the Labour leadership ballot.
And according to Robinson’s Twitter account, she appears to be a fan of the Labour leader praising him for the “thrilling” result in last month’s general election.
Jennifer has not commented but her father Terry, a horse trainer Down Under, dismissed talk of an affair.
He has not spoken to her about it but said: “She’s probably just having a night out and I think it’s more like a friendship than anything else — especially if she’s had a few drinks.”
The jet-setting lawyer grew up in the small town of Berry in New South Wales - which has a population of less than 2,000 - but graduated with a double degree in law and Asian studies from the Australian National University.
She then studied at Oxford University and graduating with a Bachelor of Civil Law with Distinction and a Master of Philosophy in International Public Law.
Robinson is understood to have struck up a friendship with fellow lawyer Amal Clooney while advising on international human rights cases.
In 2014, she was pictured attending Amal’s star studded wedding to double Oscar winner George alongside Ghostbusters star Bill Murray.
