Traingate

Ah, but this is Jezzas "gate". He will always be remembered as the guy who pulled a publicity stunt against a privatised railway company to make a political point. What next, sitting outside A&E with a bandage round his head waiting for their busiest time to make an entrance?
I saw Harriet Harman commenting on it and making the point that his team would or should have bought tickets! Either way another day in Prattsville .

That's 'honest politics' for you!

Ana, you have complicated things now , sounds rather as if they were playing musical chairs

BBC news reporting is the truth, and therefore your reason for giggling Anniebach? I always trust the BBC news.. giggling. I don't mean to offend.. Actually I do. Can you see how offensive it sounds?

My grandson works in Cardiff but does at times have to go up/down/ over to the London office, a secretary always reserves a train seat for him

Seems grandsons firm has more efficient secretaries than they have in Westminster .

I've thoroughly enjoyed #traingate on Twitter this evening.

Beammeupscottie That bit about Corbyn sitting in A&E with a bandage round his head ,certainly gave me the giggles!

Timeline on Guardian news site, if anyone interested.
Or would you rather just make up your own stories?

Not you, Pollen.

I can't wait for the Sun's headline tomorrow. How about;

CORBYN CAUGHT BY VIRGIN

What, no link?

Just don't break your wrist, roses, because from now on you will be treated online.

Good grief, pollengran, the only person who could claim to be offended is thatbags, it was her thread title which amused me , do back off and calm down

No giggling at the back there...

It's a PR stunt ( traingate) by team Corbyn I expect.

"Never let the facts get in the way of a good story" That is my point exactly Daphne. Maybe you are an SNP supporter who is now running for the hills.

Giggling is not permitted on this thread, corbynites do not approve .

Beam , that is so naughty, and so funny

I am crossing the house to you DJ, but you knew that .

Beam, you're on a roll on this thread, so many gems but my favourite is 'either way, another day in pratsville'.
Seats should have been booked. I don't know anyone who on a planned work trip, would travel without booking seats. I can't imagine the leader of Her Maj's opposition is short of assistants to do that kind of thing on his behalf. It's either a publicity stunt that backfired or another example of chaos and inefficiency.

I wish these plans for railways would be taken seriously , he not only wants to privatise rail companies, he wants to open up some closed railway tracks - my bungalow is built on what was once a railway track

Loved the A&E joke, brilliant. He's the joke that keeps on giving.

VIPs may be catered for, but so many joe publics reserve a seat that is nowhere to be found. Jeremy Corbyn is highlighting that. All he is saying is that we need more trains.

Do we need Nationalisation of trains? Yes. Did he fabricate? That needs more CCTV for me to believe it.

Wishing a broken wrist on someone! Dearie me.
Just for the record, I had to visit Hospital for an x-ray and was in and out in 15 mins. The NHS seems much improved.

He wasn't on a days shopping, he had thousands and thousands waiting to hear him speak,

Surely no momentum groupies on the train , may explain how some passengers left the train ninety minutes before it stopped

But it wasn't all he was saying was it
