Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

You don't live in Tower Hamlets, do you? Corruption here has meant you have to put in extra effort to be accepted as a member of the Labour Party.
How did you know? :hmm:
I'll write them a letter some time, there's no rush as who knows how long it takes to assent to being a voting member
 
Later that day:

"I didn't come into politics to crash this train. I came into politics to crash the country."
 
its a tawdry little off the cuff piece to reasure the reader that anyone with principles is faking it. They know they are, so everyone else must be. Bob crow lived in a council house, the hypocrite sort of vein
 
It's not that I think JC is JC or anything, but I find it hard to imagine him deliberately setting up the sitting-on-the-floor as a PR piece. Not really his style is it? This is a man who feels awkward getting overly dramatic in PMQs for gods sake.

Which means it's interesting to watch the amount of effort going into ignoring the obvious explanation that has already been given and is included in the guardian piece if you read far enough (many won't, and they know that):

Mendez said that the seemingly empty seats shown on an image released by Virgin Trains, timestamped 11.07am, had bags or coats placed on them by passengers.

The filmmaker said there were a number of other passengers sitting on the floor during the initial part of the trip. “We filmed Jeremy Corbyn at 11.30am, sat at the front of the train. There were many other people sat on the floor during that journey.

“After the video was shot we managed to get a seat at around 11.40am, because Virgin staff moved people around the train, but other people were unable to get a seat.”
 
the stills of the footage even.
Sorry - it was less of me being pedantic (for once!) and more me wondering whether there is any link to it. I couldn't find it via the press release.

Has anyone seen it?
 
i suppose you mean george osborne with natalie rowe in the 1990s. when er he was not chancellor.
but if you mean john major, norman lamont or ken clarke please post up details.

Photos came to light while he was Chancellor, I think. But I'll happily stand corrected. And you forgot Mellor.

It hasn't been released I don't think. The graun have some footage but I think it's from a phone.
