Momentum or Maomentum? Hat Edition

Been a while since we've done one of these (you can find the previous editions here and here), but Hatgate has provided me with an opportunity I couldn't resist. The following quotes are all genuinely taken from Twitter; some are the actual thoughts of Jeremy Corbyn supporters, others are satirical pisstakes. Which is which? Answers at the bottom of the post, as ever.

1. "[Gavin] Williamson wasn't photoshopped to look red I notice. Was Corbyn in a hat the first photo you came across then? I'm sure there's photos of him not in a hat."
2. "They also photoshopped his suit, making it look more like a jacket."
3. [With regards to this picture of SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford behind the scenes at Peston on Sunday] "Photo changed to black and white to make him look like a sinister, evil crofter. We see what you're doing, ITV."
4. "Look, it's quite simple. A fur hat is *too* Russian looking, a Lenin hat is just the right amount of Russian looking."
5. "Nonsense! Adjusting the contrast and/or colour wouldn't make his hat grow."
6. "This is dangerously suggestive of allegiance and you are completely aware of that. Your defence? 'We didn't photoshop the hat.' Ridiculous."
7. "It clearly is made to look like a Russian fez!"
8. "Pure lies, you can see the peak in the hat where it's been stretched upwards."
9. "I was unaware/remain unconvinced that colouration and loss of detail could change the shape of a hat so completely."
10. "I am upset that this implies Jeremy has a large head, when in fact his head is a perfectly normal size."
11. [In response to the Newsnight editor showing that the image was not photoshopped] "Why does it LOOK like you did?"
12. "So we are going with what Evan Davis said to Owen Jones, that that was a real photo of Corbyn in front of the Kremlin."
13. PICTURE ROUND: "The hat literally changes shape from a cap like this to a Russian style hat!"

14. "Explain please how the hat has grown taller, while every other part of Corbyn remains the same?"
15. "The angle of the projection that made his hat look slightly larger is just a coincidence, I'm sure."
16. "A photo was selected which was as Leninesque as possible."
17. "What you didn't see was how many slightly smaller hats they Photoshopped inside Corbyn's hat."
