'The leader is on the floor!' Corbyn taunted over infamous 'ram-packed' train stunt
JEREMY CORBYN’S now infamous stunt of sitting down on the floor of a "ram-packed" train came back to haunt him again during the first PMQs following the summer recess.
May on Labour: "The train's left the station, the seats are all empty, the leader's on the floor"
Theresa May told Mr Corbyn and his divided party the “the train has left the station” as the internal strife in Labour continues – with Owen Smith still fighting Mr Corbyn for the leadership.
As Mr Corbyn claimed the Conservative government was failing to provide safe and affordable housing for the British people, Mrs May retorted that the market had improved under Tory rule.
Mr Corbyn claimed only one in every five council houses sold under Right to Buy is replaced, short of the Government's "one-for-one" pledge as he pressed Mrs May to commit to the scheme.
Turning the tables on the Labour leader, the PM branded Labour a "laughing stock".
Mr Corbyn became embroiled in a row with Virgin Trains last month after being filmed sat on the floor despite it later emerging there were seats available to him as he travelled north from London.
Mrs May told the House: “All he’s telling us is all we need to now about modern Labour.
“The train has left the station, the seats are all empty, the leader is on the floor. Even on rolling stock they are a laughing stock.”
