One of Britain’s biggest rail companies accused Jeremy Corbyn of dishonesty after the Labour leader claimed a train journey was so “ram-packed” that he was forced to sit on the floor.
Virgin released CCTV footage showing rows of empty seats and said it took issue with his version of events.
Mr Corbyn was lauded as a man of the people by supporters — and even some critics — last week for speaking out against overcrowding. In a film shot on the 11am service from London to Newcastle earlier this month, Mr Corbyn said he had chosen to sit on the floor of the packed train rather than travel first class to get a seat.
