Jeremy Corbyn frustration at questions on train seating row

Jeremy Corbyn walked past empty seats because he wanted two together so he could talk to his wife, he said in response to a row over train overcrowding.

CCTV images released by Virgin Trains appeared to show the Labour leader walking past vacant, unreserved seats before he was filmed sitting on the floor, complaining about “ram-packed” carriages.

Mr Corbyn was unimpressed as he was asked to clarify what happened on the three-hour 11am Virgin Trains service from London King’s Cross to Newcastle following a speech on his plans to “renationalise” the NHS.
