... while silent Corbyn enjoys sun in Croatia

- Mail Foreign Service

HE snubbed an invitation to the Passchenda­ele commemorat­ions and still hasn’t broken his silence on the spiralling crisis in Venezuela.

But at least Jeremy Corbyn is enjoying his holiday.

The 6 -year-old was spotted strolling through Dubrovnik in Croatia, formerly part of Communist republic Yugoslavia.

Though he had, thankfully, opted not to wear a tight-fitting lycra ensemble for his cycling holiday, the Labour leader still revealed his legs in a pair of baggy green shorts.

He matched them with a shortsleev­ed white shirt that revealed something of a late-life paunch, and a practical red and grey rucksack. His feet are obscured in the photograph taken by fellow British tourists, so it’s unknown if he was wearing his favoured combinatio­n of socks and sandals.

Mr Corbyn has come under fire from his own MPs after remaining silent about the situation in Venezuela. The Labour leader, who championed Venezuela as a socialist paradise for years, said nothing as the regime launched its violent crackdown on opponents.

Hardline president Nicolas Maduro, who has described Mr Corbyn as a ‘friend of Venezuela’, has sparked mass protests in recent days as he attempts to tighten his grip on power.
