    LBC were all over this accusing him of being involved in 'traingate'.

    However social media rallied around later in the day, when witnesses who were on the train confirmed Jeremy Corbyn's version of events.

    I really don't know what to make of Jezza, I was happy he got the job but, he's not convinced me
    since he's been in the role, however, the amount of shit thrown at him seems to suggest, he's doing something right.

    He refuses to play the establishment game. He's like the Bradley Wiggins of politics...

    What were Corbyn comments? He said something along the lines of he was sitting on the floor because the train was full (possible lie) like many do around the country every day/week (does anyone want to dispute this?) and it would be wrong to spend public money to ensure that he could get a seat when so many can't.

    You can trip yourself up arguing whether there were seats and it was an hastily arranged stunt but I defy anyone to suggest that it's always easy to get a seat going from Paddington to Reading on the train home to Cardiff (whether you have booked seats or not) or that we don't have some of the most expensive rail fares in Europe for what is consistently a poor service.

    The majority have been shown to support Corbyn's policy of bringing trains back into public hands, TFL being one of the best performing services in the UK, and this government also supports the notion, just as long as those public hands are Chinese or Dutch or French.

    If he is, it's passing me by - my main problem with Corbyn isn't down to his politics, it's just that he is a hopeless and completely ineffective leader of his party.

    Of course, Virgin and Branson would have no reason to smear Corbyn with some doctored CCTV stills given that Corbyn wants to nationalise an industry that makes Branson a fortune out of taxpayer's money....

    If I suggested that Virgin doctored their cctv to cover up some conspiracy you would all be jumping in with the 'loony' comments by now, quite bizarre.

    If he was spending public money on this trip I for one would be bloody annoyed as he was on the trip as part of a party election campaign not in his role as leader of the opposition!!

    Labour party should have paid for this trip surely?

    Absolutely right and I would have thought the party would have paid for it (or Corbyn himself). Having said that, some funding for each political party comes from the taxpayer, so in a way even if Labour paid for his trip it would have been paid, in part at least, by the taxpayer, though I doubt that's what was meant.

    You don't mind our government shoveling millions of £££'s into privately organised anti-hate groups like CST, which evolved from the street thug gang 62, but one man on a train journey would make you "bloody annoyed"?

    Rest easy Jeremy Corbyn's annual expenses are the lowest in parliament at £8.92 for a full year.

    What on earth has CST got to do with this.

    I've never expressed a view on any money the government spends on them.


    It is your anti Jewish mania again.

    A minute ago you were "bloody annoyed" if a train ticket had been purchased with public money.

    None of Corbyn's trips to speaking engagements involve "public money" so what have you got to be "bloody annoyed" about?

    If they were paid for by the Labour party nothing.

    Do people realise the small pieces of paper on the seats means they are reserved?

    They do but that did not suit mainstream medias relentless attacks on Jeremy Corbyn. By the weekend the scandal will have shifted to him being photographed walking on the cracks between the pavements.

    More people coming forward backing up Corbyn's account of what took place.

    MSM will have him painted as a Jihadist Nazi for the Sunday papers at this rate.

    It's not like there are any vested interests that would want to see the situation with regard to railways remain as it is.
