Ashford MP Damian Green has tweeted a tongue-in-cheek message to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn following his well-publicised row with Virgin Trains.

The work and pensions secretary posted a message on Twitter on Thursday saying: "On a Virgin Train. Top tip - book a seat before you travel. It's an apparently little-known service they offer."

It follows the Labour leader's video of himself sitting on the floor of a Virgin train after claiming he couldn't get a seat because the carriages were 'ram-packed'. Mr Corbyn had claimed the situation supported his argument for the re-nationalisation of the railways.

The defendant claimed to be an activist for Jeremy Corbyn

CCTV footage released by the train company appeared to contradict Mr Corbyn's claims and show him walking past spare seats.
