I very much doubt that Branson would have had access to that CCTV without having had it all signed off by Virgin East Coast at a high level and, unike Corbyn, Branson has the sense to have (probably) run it past his legal team to cross the Ts and dot the Is. Personally I think the CCTV legwork was done by Virgin East Coast, and then they simply got Branson (or an aide) to tweet it on his account as it would be more effective than coming from the Virgin EC account.

As for it being "right" for Virgin East Coast or Branson to release the footage, a claim was made against them that at best could be considered mistaken, or at worst considered libellous/defamatory. They're perfectly within their rights to put their side of the story out and cast whatever doubts they wish on the sainted Jez.
