LBC Labour Leadership Debate: Ed Miliband, Private Vs State, and Religion (Part 2)

[@DFandV]

Jeremy Corbyn is the only one in the panel who answers the questions whether you agree with them or not.

[@timc9806]

DFandV Amen to that. Am no Labour fan (nor am I a Tory), but he is a conviction politician that gives straight answers. What a refreshing change.

[@Matty12333]

+Tim C Nigel farrage is the same, says it how it is

[@rayhughes6343]

How did that prediction work out

[@BMstarcast]

Watching everyone apart from Jeremy Corbyn dance around and not answer questions is hilariously depressing.

[@celticpatriot1527]

Danny Atkinson not an honest days work in their lives. Surprised they went on LBC its not the socialist enclave of the bbc, like vampires venturing out into the sunlight for the first time.

[@Blizzardwizard111]

Celtic Patriot 'socialist enclave of the bbc'. That made me laugh, you mean the Tory loving Andrew Neil channel, socialist? Right..

[@celticpatriot1527]

Seb Gigner get your head out of your own ass

[@Blizzardwizard111]

Celtic Patriot BBC, a socialist channel, dear me that's rich!

[@OHEALEYFORPM]

Danny Atkinson We want an end to extreme immigration that has swamped every corner of our country. We want withdrawal from the EU and an end to banker tax cuts and the bedroom tax. A Government that puts the people first the people in this country not in Europe not in the Third World but those born and bred here in the UK.

[@kevsmyth8318]

Corbyn's description of Farage was short and sweet, and on point. Vote Corbyn.

[@lukewhitfield9837]

it was also mostly not true, but Labour Supporters lap it up.

[@OnTheAlmondTree]

kev smyth Farage worked in metal trading, not banking. However, the idea that Farage represents and supports the working class is baffling. He rubs shoulders with The S*n and the Daily Mail, he supports NHS privatisation, he admitted he was 'keeping the flame of Thatcherism alight' and he hasn't given his stance on TTIP which could potentially be the end game for any possible positive change to the system.

[@lukewhitfield9837]

he stands for me more than a big state socialist ever will, he respects individual liberty and small state libertarianism, as well as having a proper border control and helping to stop wage suppression caused by uncontrolled mass immigration, would Corbyn stand up to the EU or fight for our sovereignty? Also, I don't know where you are getting your facts from but UKIP supports a free/public NHS free at the point of use, and UKIPs stance and Farages on TTIP is that it's a scam and they have already campaigned against it in the European Parliament. Check your facts before saying what you just have, you're misinforming people if you spread those lies.

[@Benny2kk8]

i like how interested they are in straight & honest answers when they're asking questions to each other

[@AbdulTaufik97]

1. Jeremy Corbyn 2. Andy Burnham 3. Yvette Cooper 4. Liz Kendall

[@lisareeve5515]

I love that Nigel Farage said- 'Well at least Jeremy Corbyn is a socialist, that's what the part is supposed to be.' Brilliant.

[@totalwarking7839]

For once I agree with Nigel Farage, labour was founded as a socialist party and it should return to it's roots

[@hutch2106]

Yvette Cooper has nothing to say, Liz Kendall is in the wrong party, Andy Burnham (is he wearing mascara?) changes his mind more often than he changes his socks. Jeremy for leader!

[@asiff623]

Ian H LOL my whole family says that about about Liz Kendall, ye i hope he gets it, he will get my vote

[@irinapavlova1768]

***** wow. You are such a hateful person. No wonder you are a Tory.

[@kevsmyth8318]

Liz Kendall made me facepalm a few times. She really is a hopeless candidate without convictions. Jeremy must be wondering how the hell he is up against such terrible opposition. "Is this what Labour has become?" he thought to himself. He is a giant amongst them and, it would seem, the MP who most resembles what a Labour politician should sound like. (not a Blairite).

[@FullPotentialHarmani]

NF: "I'm sorry I've never worked in a bank, I bought and sold lead." JC: "Where did this lead come from Nigel?" NF: "All over the world actually, which is why we don't need the EU." JC: "I'm sure you cared lots about the lead miners." #underratedJCcomments

[@Barakuka]

Jeremy Corbyn is brilliant!

[@mathewholcroft8849]

That shadow cabinet bit completely infuriated me.

[@b11k22]

God bless Iain Dale for destroying the other 3 during the Ed Miliband in shadow cabinet question.

[@clareswift604]

Leaving the EU wouldn't make us a "dark impoverished place" there's a whole world out there. And, you do not need to be in the EU to freely trade with it - Ask Iceland, Norway or Switzerland. EU has cost UK thousands of jobs and we give £11 billion a year so that workers wages are kept low.

[@celticpatriot1527]

clare swift That just shows how stupid Yvette Cooper is "duuuh there a factory in my constituency from germany they make jobs, hue hue hue hue" never mind how NISSAN and samsung etc. companies headquartered outside EU are able to trade in the UK even though they dont have the magical eu passcode.

[@guidofarage7457]

clare swift Exactly, if being outside the EU is such a risk, then why are little Iceland, Norway and Switzerland incredibly prosperous, educated countries? The argument from the pro-EU lot about "factories closing down" or "Britain losing jobs" is just scaremongering rubbish. The EU trade bloc is slowly declining, we trade >50% with the rest of the world. About time we made our own trade deals with other countries and had a truly global outlook; this is what UKIP want, they don't want an inward-looking isolated Britain, far from it. The whole philosophy of the EU is protectionist to some extent, and incredibly anti-democratic. We would honestly be better off without it. As for Burnham, some friend of the working man he is with his pro-EU sentiment, Corbyn doesn't know the difference between banker and commodities broker and cooper's outburst against Nigel saying the EU is in hoc to big business/corporations was ridiculous and made her come across as overly emotional, and she was wrong too, Farage was correct about the EU. Just look at the proposed TTIP deal, that explains everything we need to know.

[@clareswift604]

Guido Farage Can't understand why people who are - & rightly so, - against TTIP but are pro-EU. Because one is a symptom of the other

[@celticpatriot1527]

it is because eu ,unlike ttip, gives a place for failed politicians to go as commissioners without election and the eu gives funding to labour, tories etc. for no good reason. It is all fraud against the general public.

[@pannypan2835]

Guido Farage Because they hold more socialist ideals than we do?

[@rorybriggs3186]

In America all 4 of them would be attacked for not saying they were believers.

[@saayagain65]

lol Liz Kendall "this great capitalist country"

[@stephenpennell]

Find Iain dale bias with his digs to jeremy corbyn going back to old manifesto other wise good format great show. Why ask send your questions in all question have been phone questions . up to now

[@ryankelly2109]

Interesting that the real socialist is the most Eurosceptic. Europe is run by big business, big capital and big banks.

[@asiff623]

ryan kelly You are so right, look at the up and coming ttip agreement, corporatocracy to the max, what will be the point in voting if this happens.

[@UploadYourMum]

As Iff organise.38degrees.org.uk/

[@Matty12333]

Jeremy Corbyn still wants to be in the EU. I don't think exiting the EU is bad for Britain. But no dowbt the referendum will be rigged or scaremongering making us vote yes to stay in the EU.

[@stefanaustin]

I'm not going to lie, I too laughed when that caller asked if they do god.

[@AFGuidesHD]

Ahh yes the amazing tactic of "we're shit at everything" for the yes campaign, keep up the good work you guys at giving the no vote more votes

[@christianround2774]

worked for Scotland

[@incredibleXMan]

Lmao the three candidates trying to harangue Jeremy into answering questions.

[@celticpatriot1527]

The only person with an IQ above 40 on that show was Nigel from Kent and Andy Burnham's toupee.

[@20yearwritersblock]

Corbyn very impressive. The other three are just the usual career politicians who say nothing. Oh, and why doesn't anyone ask Yvette Cooper about her and her husbands parliamentary expenses.

[@Bunjee77]

With the knowledge that taxation falls under the definition of theft, didn't one of the Tend Commandments say 'thou shalt not steal'?

[@user-kg2bt7pi5k]

Don't know why everyone says JC answers the question, first question on EU posed by Farage, AB, LK and YC all clearly answer question and say no, while JC sits on the fence. Emperor's new clothes.

[@DanRobards]

21:40 Damn, great answer!

[@KillingTime79]

yvonne cooper says 'think' or 'thinking' in alot of answers. excellent media training though.

[@RossHamMil]

I'd be quite happy with either corbyn or burham, both seem like they're in it for the right reasons

[@shikenkanbaby]

We should think of the millions of Brits living in other EU countries, why? Because if we leave the EU they'll get thrown over the borders? Damn, I was really looking forward to living in the US, but I guess since we're not in political union with them I'm not allowed to.

[@erzan]

shikenkanbaby Germany is in the EU, Eurozone and Schegan (no borders agreement) but still has *better* exports, *lower* unemployment, *higher* wages and *higher* productivity than the UK. If they can do it why can't we? maybe you should be supporting Britain more.

[@shikenkanbaby]

erzan I was talking about Jeremy's comment about British nationals living in EU nations, not sure how your comment relates to mine. Still, we could do it and are doing it as we are on course to over take France and then Germany by 2050. But we'd do it a lot faster outside the EU and besides, the eurosceptic argument isn't solely focussed on economy and money. It's the same as the SNP's desire to leave the UK, we want to govern ourselves and not be dictated to by foreign powers which we never voted for.

[@TheConnorian]

erzan Germany is also a much more rigid economy with more stringent business practises and less institutional and industrial tolerance for non-workers and less flexibility for ordinary workers. Think before you speak. The Tories will make us more like Germany so I assume you are jubilant that they've won? Personally I'll continue fighting for the UK to continue being British not German thanks.

[@tameny1673]

"Where did this lead come from, Nigel?" Rekt.

[@brianmiles5237]

How is that Rekt? Genuine question. Do you know where the lead comes from?

[@bankzie]

Jeremy Corbyn is the best, it takes true star quality to take over the polls with endorsements from Nigel Farage and Syriza :p In all serious though he has many many level-headed progressives coming out in support. I want to see this man as our Prime Minister.

[@lukewhitfield9837]

Yes Yvette, undemocratic unelected dictatorship is in Britain's interest, and stop saying the EU is Europe, they're two different things. You can't reform the EU either Liz! is the Labour Party saying that Britain isn't good enough to stand up on her own two feet? Yes, they are.

[@ljy17]

Jeremy Corbyn is a long term thinker and dosn't just think in short terms like the other candidates and the majority of politicians of the last 10 years. In this current time where there is unrest in the middle east and Eastern Europe / Western Russia and of course on the issue of climate change; I think Jeremy Corbyn is an excellant candidate. The other major issue - the economy, he has got the right idea, if we want a stronger economy you need too invest in infastructure, it's the backbone the economy grows around, if you grow it at the right rate (thats the trick). As he puts it "You grow yourself to prosperity, you don't cut yourself into prosperity". I can give a small example from my own experiance into why infastructure investment is important. I am an electrician who specialise in solar installations. The company is a small company and the issue that is growing at the moment is grid capacity. The electrical transmission lines are not the proplem here, it the transformers that step down the voltage these cost between 10-20 thosand pounds each and that is just the transformer itself. The distribution network operators (Western Power in my area) do not have any money too upgrade the grid, this is chocking off renewable energy projects that where initially booming in the area of domestic installations because the grid is quickly running out of capacity. This effects all renewable generating installtions in Britain, where we should keeping grid capacity a step or two ahead of the renewable industry too allow it to grow freely, this in turn brings money back into the economy. Another point worth noting is that most large scale solar installions in the UK are owned by other European country's (mainly Germany).

[@Semordnilaps]

Pet peeve of the day: People who say Europe when they mean the EU. Look, I'd like to see them argue that Norway is not in Europe. Or that Grexit would mean the physical separation, by means of digging I suppose, of Greece from the European continent.

[@PerplexTV1]

Yvette Cooper is sickeningly insincere

[@imaplateoftoast]

I think Burnham and Corbyn will be a very close pair, no matter which one of those two wins the election.

[@tgreenan]

11:24 YEAH SORRY MARTIN Electability m8.

[@l337z0r]

Troll call from Nigel Farage - lmao.

[@OnTheAlmondTree]

27:42 "The day after weed"

[@SMARTvoterWorld]

Don't care who leads. If they think you don't deserve voter consumer rights then they they are either crooked, will become crooked or will loose to someone who is.

[@teddybeddy123]

Leave the EU but have a comprehensive free trade deal with the EU. We leave in a globalized world, entertaining ideas that the UK would somehow be isolated is simply infantile.

[@erzan]

***** Germany is in the EU, Eurozone and Schegan (no borders agreement) but still has *better* exports, *lower* unemployment, *higher* wages and *higher* productivity than the UK. If they can do it why can't we? maybe you should be supporting Britain more.
