Jeremy Corbyn has been snapped flying home from his summer holiday - and he's going straight back to work attacking the Tories.

The Labour leader is set to launch a three-week tour of marginal seats tomorrow, just 48 hours after touching down from Croatia.

Mr Corbyn spent a week with wife Laura Alvarez in Dubrovnik, where true to form, he was spotted wandering the historic cobbled streets in green shorts with a backpack slung over one shoulder.

Yesterday he sported a grin, rosy cheeks and a cream summer suit as he bumped into a delighted fan in Dubrovnik Airport.

"I was a bit overawed," Labour-voting law student Oscar Davies, 23, from Rochester, Kent, told the Mirror.

"He said he was enjoying the fact that there was no leadership election this year so he could have a holiday for the first time in a long time."

Oscar, who was travelling with his sister Connie, thinks the Labour leader travelled in a way most Brits would recognise - on a no-frills budget airline.

"He was on the flight before us," Oscar said. "I saw him get on one of those crowded airport buses."

There was also a British Airways flight out of Dubrovnik yesterday, but Oscar said he's "80% sure" Mr Corbyn travelled on easyJet.

A spokeswoman for the Labour leader declined to confirm his travel plans.

Oscar added: "He said I looked 'really fit'. Don't think that won't go to my head!"

Now he has returned Mr Corbyn is planning to visit a string of Tory marginal seats and hold public campaign rallies for his supporters.

But he is also set to face questions about his repeated past support for Venezuela, which is in chaos after Socialist President Nicolas Maduro won sweeping powers in an election slammed by critics.

More than 100 people have died in violent clashes, two opposition leaders were seized from their homes, and Smartmatic, the firm which created Venezuela's electronic voting system, claimed the official turnout was "manipulated".

In June 2015 Mr Corbyn said Venezuela's achievements in jobs, education and housing were a "cause for celebration" and "very powerful forces are trying to destroy all of that".

He is not thought to have spoken publicly about the country since.

Mr Corbyn will kick off his tour on Monday with a visit to health workers in Crawley, where the Conservative majority was slashed from more than 6,500 to just 2,457 in the snap general election.

His tour is then set to sweep into every nation of the UK, with a focus on seaside resorts as he heads to the sunny south west.

His first rally will be this Thursday in Redruth, Cornwall, where Tory farming minister George Eustice's majority was slashed from just over 7,000 to just 1,577 in the general election.

Mr Corbyn is set to close the summer of campaigning by appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe on August 27.

Echoing his appearance at Glastonbury, the Labour leader will crash into the world-famous comedy festival with an hour-long interview at the hands of comedian and broadcaster Susan Morrison.

Tickets for the event in a 350-seat theatre, which will explore "what makes him tick, how he deals with adversity and how our country needs to be transformed", sold out in a few hours.

She briefly returned to service between the two breaks to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the Battle of Passchendaele, which killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the First World War.

Mr Corbyn did not attend the commemoration in Belgium and sent Shadow Defence Secretary Nia Griffith in his place.
