I don't know about "snarling", but lying for sure. Never met the bloke, I don't think, but he does come across as unpleasant.
It was interesting how Corbyn felt the issue was so important he had a video made of himself sitting on the floor, but when asked about it by a reporter he felt it was unimportant and trivial.
He had wanted to make a point about both the issue and his behaviour - what a dedicated man of the people, willing to sit on the floor while he worked. etc. etc. Unfortunately either he or his advisors, or probably both, seem to lack intelligence and imagination about how that was going to play out.
Satisfying though it was to see Karma in the shape of Branson appear, it was pretty unacceptable use of CCTV footage. Branson himself would have reacted very badly had that been done to him.
They should have just said that the footage existed without releasing it and then watched the ignominious climb down.
