Cult of Corbyn

The pollster YouGov reports that a big majority of voters believe Virgin Trains rather than Jeremy Corbyn over the rumpus about the Labour leader's journey to Newcastle.

But the most remarkable figure is the 39% of Labour voters who believe Jeremy Corbyn's version of events even though the Labour leader has since admitted that he walked past unreserved seats on the train - which he didn't use because he wanted to sit with the rest of his team and/or his wife.

See the following quote from the London Evening Standard newspaper:

"Jeremy Corbyn today conceded there were spare seats on the “ram-packed” Virgin train where he claimed he was forced to sit on the floor.

"In a change to his version of events, he said he had been looking for seats for him and “a group of colleagues” to sit together, accepting that the train was not full.

"It came during a bad-tempered press conference in which he rebuked reporters for questions about the incident and whether it reflected on his integrity."

Now a cult depends on the support of otherwise people who rely on propaganda and refuse to believe the evidence of their own eyes.

So the 'Cult of Corbyn' is the only rationale explanation here, if you ask me.
