A walk in the park with Jeremy Corbyn - BBC News

The Conservatives completed their leadership contest in a matter of days - Labour's has barely begun. There are now two candidates standing against Jeremy Corbyn - Angela Eagle and Owen Smith - but the Labour Leader has told us that the rules which exclude recently signed up members from voting in the contest are unfair - and he wants the party's national executive to change them. mAdam Fleming went for a walk in the park with Mr Corbyn.

Such a decent man. I don't think I agree with some of his policies but his character is worth voting for.

[@tomlinid]

He is a nice man it's a shame labor seem to be tearing themselves to pieces I can understand people being put off by all the infighting in the party.

[@leapsplashafrog]

There is little more important than character

[@joecardwell4253]

A decent man indeed, but clearly not a leader. Any attempt to so dramatically reshape a major political party needs a much stronger figurehead than Jeremy Corbyn - not to mentio broader parliamentary support.

[@archvaldor]

You have a very warped perception of what strength is.

[@daniellowe9929]

Jeremy is proving himself to be a man of steel, most could not cope with the pressure he has been under.

[@lane6058]

My god a politician who thinks before he speaks and has a sense of humour. A bloody threat to the known universe.

[@felixiusdzerzhinsky789]

Good to see the next Prime Minister!

[@Litany_of_Fury]

Unlikely as the Conservatives are allpowerful right now.

[@kills26]

pragmatism is not a bad word.

[@felixiusdzerzhinsky789]

The politics in nearly the whole world is very unstable (because of loss of trust) - which also means that candidates like Corby has his chance.

[@WarmasAsunnedcat]

your funny you should be on the stage

[@georgiegirlize]

LOL!!!!!!

[@harvinderdhillon4155]

He is a leader. He has the majorities voting. What are people talking about? He is a great leader. He can't help his personality. He's voted by majority of the general public. He is backed by all public.

[@WarmasAsunnedcat]

the majority of the general public are not labour members so who voted for him? would that be wet behind the ears socialist kids....or middle class luvvies .......or anarchists.....or socialist worker party members.....and don't forget mischievous tories.

[@MrCyberbullying]

He is the only one who does not crawl before the unelected family. He really defends merit. A very courageous man.

[@Picnicl]

Jeremy is someone who'd sway a non-Labour voter to vote Labour. He could easily get the Liberal vote and some of the Old Conservative vote. Jeremy gets on with people and doesn't pretend to wholeheartedly support what he doesn't wholeheartedly support. The Eagle has not landed.

[@AnonymousCaveman]

wow... BBC news... that's not bias... holy shit...

[@jsaltzz]

What, an interview with a party leader? What won't you cry bias at?

[@AnonymousCaveman]

+jsaltzz just surprising the BBC made this a fair video on Corbyn is all.

[@AnonymousCaveman]

well that must be the ONLY reason it's not anti Corbyn or labour... my point still stands...

[@incubator6916]

Mr. Corbyn is the only rational person in UK parliament. Let God bless and help you, Mr. Corbyn .

[@deanappleby9534]

Your a Jew hating racist

[@alishaimy5562]

Labour !!!!!!!

[@MrYorickJenkins]

surprisingly fair, coming from the BBc

[@motyar3894]

Please, a question about the people you accused of terrorism in direct and indirect ways, and they are innocent people. Are you looking forward to settling their situation and rehabilitating them? I am a person of twenty-one years in Britain and I do not have any right to life. What is the solution please?

[@saccharineserf7316]

Great interview! Good on you BBC for the lack of anti-corbyn bias with this one (as often seems to be the case when the man is actually allowed to speak for himself & genuinely converse - e.g. the surprisingly positive hour Sky news did with him about the EU)

[@harvinderdhillon4155]

He is who he is.

[@johnpaulhunter4986]

Trotsky.

[@ncandanto]

In Jeremy Corbyn, Britain has its very own Jose Mujica " Humble leader with great idea's

[@joestewart-paul3260]

£25? Madness.

[@Captain_Rhodes]

social exclusion

[@joestewart-paul3260]

Captain Rhodes I agree

[@mrkellysch]

www.labour.org.uk/pages/labour-party-leadership-election-2016 only chance for a less corrupt government. Worth it to prevent the sell off of our public services and infrastructure. They've tried to price us out of democracy. Let's hope they don't win. Vote by 5pm today

[@ednuttah]

How else are the Blairites going to rig the voting?

[@blackphoenix8932]

I'm afraid that after several discussions I've had on twitter, contrary to my previous posts I'm gonna have to vote against Jeremy Corbyn for leader of the labour party. It's been brought to my attention that he likes to sneak into peoples houses eat an uneven amount of Weetabix, then drink all the milk and juice but for just a smidgen in the bottom (which has contributed to the rampant use of food banks), then he then likes to take the top off the toothpaste and leave it out so it sets like mint flavoured granite, and if that weren't enough he only went and slotted Bambi's Mum! The man is clearly a prick and has to go.

[@anyvideostuff1019]

Politically, it's fair to say I hate him. but outside of politics I have to say he seems to be a very nice and respectable man indeed! I really wish him well and I respect him for saying what he really thinks in politics, but as a leader he needs to unite the Party (easier said than done, I know) and it doesn't seem he can do it.

[@YesorNo14]

basically you want he to follow the status quo......that is not called a leader.

[@anyvideostuff1019]

YesorNo14 no but if he is so completely incompatible with his fellow MP's I don't think that makes a great leader.

[@uselessgamer7937]

our Jeremy Corbyn!

[@cmdrstarlord6645]

1:23 BBC being called "Rats" by a Crow.

[@klanny22]

Nice guy and personality. Shame he doesn't really have the strong characteristics or backing to lead a country.

[@Litany_of_Fury]

He would be a good minister.

[@alwoo5645]

I don't think any party leader has had so much pressure everyone knocking him the media his own back stabbing party. His ideas make sense tired of lying used car sales men type politicians

[@klanny22]

Al woo I personally don't agree with his policies particularly, and don't think he'd make a great leader. But it is a shame he's being criticised so harshly, never seen it this bad.

[@alwoo5645]

Yeah you don't have agree with him but at least be speaks his mind you know where he stands. Things like renationalising the railways is just common sense

[@JamesTrevitt]

What strong characteristics are lacking exactly?

[@adamhume2051]

SERIOUS LEFT WING G

[@phildobson8705]

7.5 people out of ten thought EU in that part of London, just like Jeremy's 7.5 out of ten. But then they don't have to work faster faster the EU way, producing the food they cant live without or actually have to work till they are 68 in line with Germany (No jobs for people that age there unless they are the Boss of a political party or something).

[@phildobson8705]

No EU is destroying right that unions fought 200 years for. Why did labour criminal party put retirement age up from 60 to 68 for woman? Why are French workers demonstrating about their rights? Why is EU to Punish Spain & Portugal for not having even worse austerity? Champagne dinner party elite EU that's why. UK is leaving. Get a Job in UK's biggest manufacturing industry Food & find out for yourself what it's like on a hot day like today, but your working faster faster & some city person wants you to be slave to EU

[@jonesnj07]

*Honestly he seems like a very, very nice man, but i could never trust a country to him*

[@Gyr0DoG]

Care to explain?

[@jonesnj07]

Gyr0DoG his fiscal policy is a no, removing the benefit cap is a no, his stance on nuclear weapons is a no, he's an admitted socilast, all his policy positions in things like that, to me are awfull.

[@Jackerlus1]

Lol "admitted socialist"? Love it when people don't realise that the Labour party has always been a socialist party right from its beginnings in the 1910s, it was literally founded on socialist principles. Also, I understood what nuclear war was when I was 12. Nobody survives. All the nukes go off, but of course let's spend 200 billion pounds over the next decade or so to make sure we kill off a few million more people. As long as we get in one more shot right? How about we invest that money into the NHS, or improving education for the next generation?

[@jonesnj07]

***** labour of the 1960's is nothing like labour from 1990's onwards, he is dragging the party back to failure, and are you stupid, its called a nuclear *defensive* system not offensive system, you are so naive, if Russia, China, America, Pakistan, India, North Korea and Israel and France were to give up their nukes, I would be all for nuclear disarmament, but untill then we wouldn't be so stupid, it would never be used as a offensive weapon as idiots like you think, it would be used if the very existence of the United Kingdom was under threat, so to save 65 million people, I would happily press the button and kill 100,000 people of our enemy. "to make sure we kills few million people" This is how stupid and hysterical you sound.

[@Jackerlus1]

Nathan Jones well it seems reading is not your strength, neither is your understanding of nuclear war. GET IT IN YOUR HEAD, if someone presses the button aimed at us, everyone dies regardless of whether we get another nuke in or not, and everyone in the world knows it. It's not about how many people we kill, it's that if someone pressed the button we would all die regardless of whether we fired as well. That is the reality of a nuclear war. Whether you press that button or not, people are dying in the billions anyway because of alliances. That's why it's called mutually assured destruction.

[@JamesTrevitt]

Mildly patronising as usual.

[@AD-kv9kj]

Only to idiots.

[@evertonwood]

THANK GOD Kier Starmer rooted out this clown!!!
