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