If you thought Jeremy Corbyn was something of a dope, just take a look at his youngest son.

Tommy Corbyn is pictured smoking what looks suspiciously like a joint, but he insists it is legal.

The 25-year-old was seen taking deep drags on the roll-up outside a cafe in Notting Hill, West London, where medicinal cannabis products are on sale.

The 25-year-old, who took deep drags on the roll-up, insists he was smoking a type of hemp that is not illegal

He had put green buds in a 'rasta pocket grinder' before tipping them into his rolling paper. But last night Mr Corbyn said he was just smoking a type of hemp that is not illegal, as it only contains the compound CBD and not the psychoactive ingredient THC.

He and his girlfriend Chloe Kerslake-Smith plan to start selling legal cannabis-derived products in North London. They have set up two companies, The National Hemp Service and Hemp Cafe.

Mr Corbyn's father supports a relaxation of drugs law. Last year the Labour leader said: 'Criminalising people for possession of small amounts of cannabis is not a particularly good idea.
