The Artist Taxi Driver rants against Leslie’s slurs

CHRIS LESLIE became the latest politician to fall foul of the famous Artist Taxi Driver yesterday after launching an attack on Jeremy Corbyn.

Britain’s best-known cabbie, real name Mark McGowan, took aim at the shadow chancellor in the latest video on his YouTube channel.

Mr McGowan began broadcasting progressive political diatribes and straight-to-the-point interviews with MPs and campaigners in 2010 and now has more than 48,000 subscribers.
