Travelling bard Corbyn won’t reveal his oeuvre

JEREMY CORBYN has been penning poems on the campaign trail — but is refusing to reveal them.

The launch of his arts policies at Dalston’s Arcola Theatre was the 86th event he has addressed during the Labour leadership battle.

Asked whether he makes art, the Islington North MP said that he had been making the most of the journeys by writing “quite a bit of poetry, largely on trains.”
