A passenger on the Leeds to Lashville party-train yesterday evening reports:

Irritatingly loud group of stag do lads been on this train the whole time, Ed Miliband has just sat down to chat with them. I'm so confused. — Pip Mountjoy (@PipMountjoy) November 23, 2014

"I touched his bum, still don't know who he is. I'm voting ukip. Best stag ever!" – direct quote from the train dickheads. — Pip Mountjoy (@PipMountjoy) November 23, 2014
