The Shadow Home Secretary was spotted drinking a small can of the mixed rum drink on her train home through her constituency in North London last Saturday, according to The Sun. Ms Abbott apologised sincerely for drinking on the service after photos were published online. She tweeted on Friday: “A photo of me drinking from a can of M&S mojito on the Overground has been circulated.
“I sincerely apologise for drinking on TfL.”
Drinking alcohol is against the law on all Tubes, buses and trains run by Transport for London (TfL).
A passenger said: “She kept her head down and was staring at her phone but kept slurping from the can. It was 1pm, so a bit early to be drinking — especially in public.”
Another added: “There are clear signs up in the carriages which say alcohol is banned. She was lucky there wasn’t an inspector on board.”
