| The picture was posted by a keen-eyed fan on Twitter, and picked up by the People’s Campaign for Jeremy Corbyn Facebook page. Corbyn supporter Stuart Low, who took the picture, pointed out the veteran MP’s sterling record on expenses: “A photo can tell you a lot sometimes. This is Jeremy Corbyn on the night bus going home last night after another day of meetings and hustings. | |
| “He has the lowest expenses of any parliamentarian. He has the best policies for the people of this country – and he may well be the next leader of the Labour party.” | |
| Corbyn is known for being the House of Commons’ most frugal MP. At the time of the expenses scandal, he had the lowest claim in the Commons – £8.95 for one printer cartridge. | Corbyn is known for being the House of Commons’ most frugal MP.
