Virgin Trains has questioned footage showing Jeremy Corbyn sitting on
the floor of a "ram-packed" service.

In a film shown on The Guardian, the Labour leader said he was
experiencing a problem "many passengers face every day" on the London
to Newcastle train.

But Virgin said CCTV showed Mr Corbyn and his team walking past
available seating before starting filming.

It says the crew helped him to a carriage where seats were available
and he sat for the rest of his journey.

Mr Corbyn's team has been contacted for comment.

According to The Guardian's report last week, the footage of the
Labour leader was taken by Yannis Mendez, a freelance filmmaker who
volunteers for his campaign.



why didn't he book a seat if he hasn't got the Intelligence to think
ahead how can he run the country...
