Jeremy Corbyn caught looking gloomy on night bus | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Customers on London’s night bus network are used to seeing orange-faced men on stag dos dressed as Oompa Loompas or relieved barefoot revellers carrying 6in heels – but Labour leadership candidates are a less frequent encounter. | Customers on London’s night bus network are used to seeing orange-faced men on stag dos dressed as Oompa Loompas or relieved barefoot revellers carrying 6in heels – but Labour leadership candidates are a less frequent encounter. |

Jeremy Corbyn doesn’t exactly need to prove his “man of the people” credentials. But in this picture of the Labour leadership favourite on the central London night bus, he bolsters his authenticity further by looking just as miserable as everyone else. | |
The picture was taken by Stuart Low and posted on Twitter, and later picked up by the People’s Campaign for Jeremy Corbyn Facebook page. | |
The Corbyn Facebook account posted: “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 MPs’ expenses scandal, he had the lowest claim in the Commons – £8.95 for one printer cartridge. |
