JEREMY Corbyn watches another lead slip from his grasp as he grapples with a dog during a walkabout.
The Labour leader met an Alsatian called Acer while chatting to people after attending the funeral of Newport MP Paul Flynn.
But his grip slipped as a woman with a pram tried to pass — leaving him tied up in knots.
One onlooker said: “He was in a dreadful muddle.”
LONG-standing Labour MP Paul Flynn died at the age of 84.
Mr Flynn, who had been an MP for Newport West since 1987, was hailed a real “hero” by those within his local party.
