Perfect comrade! All this fuss over elections prove they are a fuss over nothing. Once in power St. Jeremy of islington can do away with them totally: there simply won be a need to vote fo anyone else

Its a set up, they had hidden coaches on the train that magically appeared to make the glorious leader look a tool.

Finally Smith has a policy which would appeal to many voters including non-Labour :- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37167253
Hopefully this will prove a vote winner & the others follow suit (although it's probably on the cards anyway, might as well get it out in the open)

I'm sure I'd read that it was always his policy to have another Referendum?

37% of Labour Voters voted Leave. 63% Remain.

Should be interesting.

At worst he is now a liar and not as different from the rest as he claims, at best he can't even manage to ask people to move their bags off the chairs.kind of shows why he can't control his party!

And all this for a rubbish video. "Busy trains, expensive, isn't this a good reason for privatisation?" well no. Not really jezza, it doesn't explain at all why public ownership would be any better.

He's up there with Ryan Lochte.

Except he won't lose all his sponsors.

Indeed - I'm considering sponsoring him to keep him in place as long as possible.

When he wins will the Labour party split and form an alliance with the Lib Dems - They could call themselves the Social Democratic Party or something like that - very catchy

Arf!

There were plenty of seats on the train. It's just he couldn't sit in them. There wasn't a nice safe one on the left.

Its beyond me how anyone can consider voting for this imbecile.

He cant even organise a photo stunt never mind run a country, as much as I would like to be rolling on the floor laughing at the bearded gimp I feel sad that there is no sign of an effective opposition to keep the tories on their toes.

I have worked for Directors as useless as him, but at least they had the sense to employ talent around them to help hide their incompetence.

Great advertisement for nationalising the trains when the Labour leader doesn't apparently know when you can sit on reserved seats, seems oblivious to the empty seats that are clearly in view and thinks the 11am train out of London is a commuter one. I've travelled on this service plenty of times, usually on cheap tickets precisely because it's very rarely full and they're trying to get people to use it.

Now, if it was the 17.30 service, perhaps he'd have a point. But I can assure Mr Corbyn that there's no way he'd have space to make a lovely film or see all the way down the coach when it is rammed.
Plonker.

You can find loads of press reports on poor rail service overcrowding etc.

Being a regular rail user I believe Corbyn is right to highlight the plight of rail users should he have chosen a different time and place.........its debatable and may be reasonable o argue he possibly should have.

When Virgin say they had spare seats, you only have to look at first class and you will often find spare capacity, in the mean time in cattle class people are often not able to get a seat.

So here is +1 for Corbyn at least trying to highlight the issue the average person has when traveling

Jesus. A man who is apparently too timid or stupid to ask a member of the public to move a bag or coat or ask whether a seat is empty is seriously trying to suggest he should be PM, a role that will involve negotiating with the likes of Vladimir Putin?

Between Jeremy Corbyn and his trains and Owen Smith wanting to have a referendum on the referendum, I am really struggling to decide which of them is the least credible candidate.

How would you suggest that is resolved when you cant put on longer trains as they wont fit on the platforms, you cant schedule more trains as there is no more capacity in the network and you cant have double deck trains because they wont fit under the majority of the bridges?

The high prices are used to put people off using the trains as if the price was halved, more people would use them which would make the existing problems worse.

To fix the issues above, you need to spend a lot of money over a long period of time which is something governments are never keen on doing as they never see beyond the next election.

But apparently if the railways are taken back under the control of the government, they will shake the money tree, totally rework the infrastructure and it will all be 'better'. Ridiculous.

Well, I think they could bury him just by releasing a bit more CCTV rather than just ine second in a atill which Corbyns team have refuted.

The shot of him in the cab with the seats with all the reserved tickets is a different cab to the food one he goes into first?

[Smiler.]

Owen Smith on R4's Today this morning.


Humphrys: So Jeremy Corbyn is a luntatic?

Smith: What? No.

Humphrys: You said "what you won't get from me is some, you know lunatic at the top of the labour party"

Smith: I was talking about myself

And all to subsidise those commuting into big cities. - Off peak, there's plenty of space. It'd make more sense to relocate a lot of office jobs instead as many office workers could work anywhere with a working phone line and decent Internet connection. - It's not especially "green" to force people to commute for miles just to sit at a desk.

Yes, but, as you alluded to and others have mentioned, if he wanted to find an over crowded train it isn't difficult. Getting on one which clearly wasn't and then telling a great big, massive porky pie really is scummy of him.

To add to that - he has provided no reason as to why taking the trains back into public ownership would solve anything. If the only problem is people reserving seats and not using them then that's an easy fix - make it so that anyone can use an unused but reserved seat. Although that's already the case, he's just too thick to know.

Anyway, if he wants a truly socialist train service then surely this idea of reserving seats doesn't really fit with equality for all? You just get on and sit down when a seat becomes available.

Does seem disingenuous. While he is at it, he can knock his thumb with a hammer then go to A+E and highlight that waiting time for us? Perhaps fill his car up with £11 of petrol but only have a tenner and highlight the cost of fuel.

And here's a -1 for not reserving a seat.

There's no good way to slice the cake - no reservation in the first place, lied about the circumstances, made it worse by making up preposterous stories, cynical politicking, who is going to pay for 'very expensive trains' he envisages and why will nationalisation make the situation better - don't you remember 'British Snail'??

It's fking ridiculous that this guy is in charge of a major party (unless it's a false flag op out of conservative central) - he couldn't run a bath and is completely deluded to boot.
