There was much speculation about a scandal breaking last month that involved LibDem President Tim Farron. Guido thinks he might have uncovered it. After being outed on EyeSpyMP as a first class train traveller last night, Farron confessed his sins:

@eyespymp not very often, and only if I can get a super cheap advance ticket 🙂

First Class travel ban? What ban…

Were you expecting something else?

UPDATE: As a commenter “Tax Payer” points out:

“He’s claimed £6,513 so far this year for rail travel, which is one of the highest. Looks like he doesn’t manage to get a ‘super cheap’ ticket very often.”
