[@RachelOates]

How can Paxman be angry that the Labout manifesto represents the whole party's beliefs and not just Corbyn's? Surely that's the sign of a good leader - he does have his own ideas but he's willing to listen to the masses, go with what the majority want and do what's best for the country, not just his own agenda.

[@stefstefstef6789]

Why isn't he for a progressive alliance to reflect his supporters will too?

[@sendoprey]

Rachel Oates I think Paxman was suggesting he was doing a poor job of persuading the party to accept his 'outlandish' ideas, to make him look incompetent.

[@MsBugxx]

That's exactly what I thought, Rachel. I thought a manifesto was something discussed and then drawn up by a party as a whole. Not something the leader jotted down one night whilst pissed and then just released it. Mind you, that wouldn't surprise me with May's rush job of a manifesto, the way she's desperately trying to back out of a lot of the policies.

[@survivalisme88]

Rachel Oates Didn't half the Labour Party try to oust him.

[@RachelOates]

[@yodasscrotum]

I am not a dictator.. Democracy.. Wise words, and jeremy paxman doesn't let corbyn answer 1 question without interrupting at some point... A very biased interview!

[@mattcreese88]

Paxman had a shocker. Unbiased though was interrupting both of them that's his style. Agree he was incredibly annoying though

[@yodasscrotum]

WAR Noodles, agreed,harsh questions do need to be asked, I don't like paxman's interrogation style though , but I do think he did give corbyn a slightly harder time, he literally didn't give him a chance to answer one question fully though. If nothing else jeremy corbyn gives honest answers and not political rhetoric, the same can't be said for (dis)may.

[@marianneketje]

He was certainly not interrupting May as much as Corbyn. I even heard an approving "hmm" at 25:15. I think he tried to appear critical with May so as to seem unbiased but didn't manage to keep up the appearance.

[@leikfroakies]

Paxman: *Asks about Immigration* Corbyn: *starts talking about immigration* Paxman: "I'M ASKING YOU ABOUT IMMIGRATION"

Corbyn is the one being interviewed. This is not a platform to spout his ideological ideas. It's a platform for the interviewer to get through to the bottom of these politicians see to what extent they are an emporer in invincible robes.

[@TALHA-hr6xf]

To grill them, he should ask them tough questions, but at least give them a chance to answer the question fully before he moves one.

[@chrisgreenhough2792]

He barely let them reply. There's a line.

[@karlkingofducks5764]

It seems like many of his "tough questions" were just setting up a cheap shot from him each time. These aren't questions helping us construct an idea of what's happening, it's just cheap entertainment. Very poor questions and he does just come across as a total cock.

[@herbertwells8757]

@Fnord Fnordington We're not complaining that Paxman is showing "bias". His interrogation of both Corbyn and May is equally boorish and obtuse. In the United States in 2016 the situation was reversed. Here we had a candidate, Donald Trump, rather than than a journalist, who was (and is) as (at least as, that is) boorish and obtuse as Paxman (as well as, of course, completely unqualified for the job of president by any reasonable standard such as, for example, education and experience).

In Spain we have a TV interviewer that copied Paxman's style right from the start of her career. The best critique to it was given by the Mayor of Madrid: "It's great that you're so eager to ask me so many things, but I think the people would enjoy more this interview If you also allowed me to answer them."

Oscar Tritt you sound like you're just vomiting what has been pumped into you. There's a difference between working with the IRA and working for a political solution to put an end to the violence and bombing which was achieved with the Good Friday Agreement. If we had it your way many more people would be dead today, you should be happy that you have a man like Corbyn that actually WORKS for a solution to conflicts instead of just constant warmongering. Get your head out of the tabloids and try to see through the attempts to paint him as an IRA sympathiser. He believes in peace, I can't understand how people would rather have continual war.

well, as an outsider looking in, I have no dog in this fight and have never seen Jeremy paxman interview i'll say this: It seemed the calm, rational man was not allowed to answer a question in less than a sentence and this Jeremy Paxman's body language was as if to say "you're a fool" to him throughout the interview. quiet biased, I haven't even gotten to the Theresa may part, i'll see if he plays it hard on her... something tells me this fellow is an analog to Sean Hannity or Bill O'reilly? am I right?

[@Zedouchebag]

American here, so a bit of an outside perspective. Ask yourself what is relevant to your lives as citizens, and evaluate whether A. Corbyn has those interests at heart and B. Paxman's questions have relevance to those issues. In America the biggest problem is rhetoric. You can actually convince people to go against their own interests if they're afraid of an outside threat. Ask yourself, is Paxman concerned with the British, or is he concerned with something else. I think you know that answer.

(and its of course not about a number, its about many things that can result in different numbers depending on who calculates them) "so you cant even get your own views in the manifest ?" Nope, thats democracy. And it positively impresses me that the man is actually honest about the differences between his personal views and the parties agenda while generally politicians will just fake that their view is the party view and make lies and excuses to make it all consistent like idiot reporters like this man want it to be. PS: Im not from england, i didnt know these people beyond their name before this vid.

[@kayefore7185]

Actually it was his reply to Paxman's repeated demands to know why something Corbyn believed wasn't in the manifesto. And it's a reasonable reply to that. Paxman asked variations on that question four times and it was utterly silly. "But I see you like tea! Why doesn't your manifesto say everyone should drink tea? Ha?" That's pretty much what Paxman's questions boiled down to. I don't know what Paxman thought he was achieving. I guess in his own mind he was trying to present Corbyn as concealing his true agenda or something. But Corbyn was right - the manifesto is what the party as a whole signed off on, not just him. No idea how you took away that this was his reply to a question about benefits!

I have never really listened to Corbyn speaking before, but based on this Paxman interview he clearly is not the looney that the right-wing Press try and make out. He also held up well against a classic bullying from Paxman. May is as smooth as always, a classic artful politician who will say anything to get elected.

[@HabzTheMovieGuy]

My advise is to listen to Corbyn a bit more on his facebook or on youtube and make up your mind. You'll find he actually makes sense all of the time. It boggles the mind as to how the media get away with such character assassination. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who stands by their convictions yet is able to have adult dialogue with others who oppose him. The truth is, social injustice is the biggest problem the UK faces... which in turn fuels a lot of hate. Reduce the gap from rich and poor, open up education for all and stop funding states like Saudi Arabia that breed terrorists and giving more tax relief to the richest. Corbyn is the only one truly tackling that head on.

[@evenflow1981]

Agree with all of it except May saying anything to get elected. She said pretty much nothing but wrapped it up in management speak. She didn't answer any questions with any substance and just trotted out the standard Tory mantra. If she gets elected it will be from what she hasn't said than what she has...just like Cameron.

[@MrJack654]

It was his job to put them both under pressure and to push for answers. It did come off as annoying, but it's on purpose.

[@JoyAbisaab]

You are absolutely correct. However, the point is to have both candidates explain their arguments and chain of thoughts. With his constant interruptions, no message is getting across to the public at all, rendering the whole interview useless. It's not an ego battle to see if they can withstand pressure from a TV host. They both certainly can or else they have no place running for Prime Minister.

Toni Peckadowski so what is it exactly that does not yield economic growth according to you? the UK is a big and important market, you think business will just leave? that's just a ridiculous scare tactics. moreover, thanks to progressive policies the consumer base will massively improve so great for business. this has been done before you know! trickle down has never worked, middle class economics, like the new deal, was a big success! but the rich and the corporate class would rather go down on the titanic, as long as they have first class seats

Are you one of these Tory voting working class dummies? 'Cos your shit little snide remarks on peoples comments would suggest you are.

[@Nick-pq7cx]

Not really, generally when there is too much welfare it reduces incentives to work, fragments families and reduces overall happiness. A pared back welfare model with some but minimal state involvement actually gets better results. Just look at high welfare recipient groups around the world to see the negative results (low income groups in US & UK, African american groups, native american groups etc)

[@jackwatsonepic626]

I have watched a few interviews with Jeremy Corbyn and the interviewer always stop him before he can answer the question

[@rugbyjames3718]

jack Watsonepic because he never answers the question he answers a different one

[@mdhabiburrahman1643]

Some of the journalist think they are more important than the person they are interviewing. Question after questions but no time to answer them.

[@joe286]

jesus paxman, can you let corbyn speak please

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

It's so frustrating to watch!

[@blazed_sins9192]

He ask's him a question then whilst he's answering said question he asks another. Obvious attempt to test his metal, and in my opinion Corbyn did not crack under the pressure. Theresa May on the other hand...

[@frankvincent5068]

the interviewer doesn't understand that the interview is about the two leaders, NOT him

[@jakebsn499]

frank vincent so fuckong annoying

[@piainoman]

The interviewer is Jeremy Paxman son, don't know if you're American but he's one of the Good guys. You have got a point though.

[@garethbuckeridge6910]

While I didn't support Comrade Corbyn's views & opinions, I do respected him for sticking to his core values rather than playing the career politician and doing what the popularists want because it may propel you into power.

[@Empress1009]

I can't take Paxman seriously. Lunatic.

[@simongibbs2986]

Paxman is embarrassing. Jeremy Corbyn handled this awful interview really well.

[@MILKYWAIMAN]

Paxman is a horrible rude interviewer.

[@27FreddyG]

Yeh he's always been average. The thing is, he's easy to dance around and embarrass if you believe in, and are capable of expressing, what you are arguing for. Corbyn dealth with his amateurish pressure. May couldn't.

[@steveperks6499]

Wouldn't be so bad if they let corbyn actually speak once again media trying to suppress

[@TomMayhew]

Even in 2017, the questions are about Corbyn, not his policies. The whole "personality politics" is tedious. I don't care if Corbyn likes the Queen, he cares about normal people. That is what matters.

[@Norts79]

[@tigereye1208]

I'm going to vote Conservative because I like living in a country where people rely on food banks, where our youth are saddled with debt after education, where nurses can barely afford the electric bill. Yep, the Tories are for me. Whats more, I think these privately educated rich folk are the ones to do it. It's great. Vote Tory !!

[@mariandonnison1202]

[@joshhill3691]

Darren Darmanin I was fairly neutral going into this as an 18 year old, first time voter, but I felt Corbyn actually handled himself fairly well considering Paxman's embarrassing interviewing technique.

[@darrendarmanin8990]

I thought so too... May was actually not a whole lot better aside from the Brexit part. And I actually noticed him *almost* admitting that he's changed his stance on things, like immigration and stuff, but he won't just come out and say it. But I think if he had started showing this change weeks ago, even hardline Brexiters might have been somewhat convinced. I thought that, while it's probably not the best strategy, it was somewhat a good idea of his to not address Hamas as enemies if one is attempting to converse with them, kind of like what Trump was doing with North Korea. Still... He's all over the place. As absolutely fucking horrible as May's stupid little extras are, (like banning porn and bringing back foxhunting of all things!), I've heard people talking about how the only thing she is really good at is power politics which is why the EU are scared shitless of talking to her. And honestly, I think she of anyone could make Brexit a success, regardless of what happens after. And maybe do something about the ridiculous amounts of unfiltered immigration. If she gets in the Brexit negotiations, it could be fantastic. And then we can vote her out next election for someone to bring back the porn xD

[@cedriks.304]

I'm actually really impressed by Corbyn.. I think I decided who I'm gonna vote for.

[@doreeningram9773]

Good choice we have to make a good future for the young before it's too late. I'm in my 50s but I want my kids and everyone else's to have a decent life. Nice bear picture too!

[@MrGengad]

Good choice and I follow you. No one likes good people, because majority of the politicians are criminals. I think Cob deserves a chance. You got my vote Cob!!

[@timfrost08]

Good intentions and good policy are two vastly different things. Corbyn is a Utopic ideologue.

[@MrGengad]

I disagree with you on this. If you have good intention you set good policy which services the public, they go hand in hand. Good leader always works towards the needs of public. We need peace in these difficult times, people are dying here in the UK and across the world. You someone who is street wise and understand the needs of the people. If you have bad intention surly your policy will be the same. Garbage in Intention, Garbage out Policy.

[@timfrost08]

+Gengads G the road to hell is littered with good intentions. we have very very sensitive times ahead and Corbyns intention to surrender to the EU and be lax on the Islamic terror threat, or freedom fighters as he calls them, is going to cause the UK almost irreparable damage. Trident, EU, Immigration and defense.... All things he will betray the country on.

[@danbrownfan]

Corbyn you were brilliant. I didn't know how you would handle it but you did exceptional. Personable, Honest, Relatable. I believe you are genuine, and that is worth more than gold in politics. You give real answers. I'm in.

[@ricekings]

Take a shot every time Paxman says Core Beliefs.... stfu.

[@truthhitman7473]

[@AidanJokes]

Stop reading the sun and the daily mail you utter idiot. He want's controlled migration (if you'd the manifesto you'd have seen this) He is also Pro Peace not war. Which is possibly the first time a prime minister would be for this country. He's for the people. He believes the rich should pay more, not the poor.

[@ollies345]

James Daniel Smith well said

[@callumbray5725]

Corbyn is so much better here that he was at any point in the 2019 election. For some reason, he failed to recapture to this feeling of being relatable, calmness, and clarity of message- even under the conditions of this terrible interview.

[@martingoldfreed2627]

Sad to look back and see how biased the interview is against Corbyn. The fact the manifesto wasn't a checklist of Corbyn's beliefs is a good thing. If it were completely aligned, that'd be a sign of him being autocratic. He listened to other people and worked with everyone to get a rounded consensus. And yet, the newspapers still called him an autocrat who wouldn't listen to others on policy.

[@808State21]

Is she wearing red because she has changed her mind again?

[@ugh.idontwanna]

I believe this is the dress she wore the day when she visited Donald Trump and got to hold his hand. Maybe it's a sort of US republican red?

[@ctwofirst6635]

Seven minutes in and Paxman is still banging on about Corbyn not dictating terms to the Labour Party. Ridiculous.

[@dotdotdot370]

He didn't answer the trident question for starters

[@paultowey9996]

Rob Knightingale Tory tosser I presume you have a few quid . Well so do I but I actually care about people less fortunate than me . Labour for me as I don't mind paying more taxes to get this ravaged country back on its feet for EVERYBODY not just us wealthy . It's sickening to the core the way this barbaric government treat the poor low paid the elderly the disabled . I would love to pay my 25 employees more wages but I simply can't because these bastards won't let me I'd go bust .

[@TheLuw1997]

Justin Cashel He never said that he was for or against it. The right answer would be "I'm personally against it but I trust in the opinions of my other party members". Everything he said was contradictory, you can't renew trident AND push for disarmament. He's trying to have his cake and eat it. Either his party and the people want it or they don't.

[@jonw3462]

10 minutes in and all paxman has done is speak over/interupt Corbyn and talk about whats not in the manifesto that corbyn hoped would be. disrespectul as expected but more importantly a complete waste of an interview and injustice to British public watching

It doesn't help that Paxman is a Conservative.

[@tailopez4793]

Darling, he did put both leaders under scrutiny

[@a5amr2]

Tai Lopez he was more aggressive on Corbyn

[@alejocastro4787]

not really he asked May some pretty difficult questions including getting the aidience to laugh at her a couple of times. Didnt even mention the mass Labour rebellion against Corbyn or the fact he threatened sacking his own party if they didnt back the tories on Brexit

[@darknamgi114]

i love how jeremy is so human, he's just like 'oh come on, give us a chance', he knows how Paxman works because he's seen so many suffer through this, and he isn't afraid to bite back, he's not afraid to ask if he can finish his sentance because he knows what Paxman does, and for the first time in a long time it's a two player game

[@mckengineer5727]

Glad to see the back of Paxman…he had the chance to conduct a sensible interview, but just chose obtuse, somewhat moronic hectoring…as usual

[@flyingscotsman7113]

Paxman didn't interrupt her as much as he interrupted Corbyn. mon the corbyn!

[@ludovicaldersley4392]

Jeremy Paxman has lost any charm he once had and is just plain rude. He is always interrupting and appears not even to try to understand the answers given to him. He sticks to a premeditated script and the interview becomes more tedious as a result. He's no longer the great interviewer he once was IMO, gone pretty steeply downhill since leaving newsnight.

[@politure]

entirely agree. He can still bite but now he's just biting for the sake of it, despite the interviewee seeking reasonable discourse.

[@ComradeSpookfessor]

Watch his interviews with Galloway. He was always this horrible

[@KManHU]

[@Spenjbob101]

If Corbyn isn't the idea of the politician we need to make the world a better place I genuinely don't know who is.

[@henriashurst-pitkanen8735]

Such rudeness from Paxman. Time to retire if all you're going to do is talk over a political opponent (Paxman is a traditional Conservative voter) and give May a light discussion. This election has brought the truth home that the mass media establishment in this country is corrupt and horrifically biased.

[@bob_bobsen]

Bakarrik Azeri not really. Saw this comment put forward on the full playback from sky that included questions from the audience. Watch it again and you'll see he tries to get Corbyn to say something controversial while with may he gives her space and enough rope to hang herself. Rude but well played.
