NME Meets Jeremy Corbyn - watch the full video interview

NME Editor-In-Chief Mike Williams sat down with the Labour leader to discuss the most important vote in a generation. Here's what happened

[@SThrillz]

Yes!! Finally someone appoints a minister of peace.

[@Bewar3them00n]

Miike Hunt so, who are the wealth creators? The bosses or the people they exploit, the massive corporations who almost no tax by exploiting tax loops and backhanders to the Tories will have to pay what everybody else is expected to pay.

[@martsandrou9423]

Thank you for giving us hope JC.

[@Bewar3them00n]

Miike Hunt if you'd taken any notice, the economy has slumped, prices are rising, the pound is a lot weaker, more people than ever are using food banks, I'd say May has fu*ked it already, Corbyn has released a fully costed manifesto, backed by 120 leading world economists who have given it their thumbs up, I'd say there's more than hope.

[@andycollier1268]

Please people VOTE CORBYN!! Britain needs a change, and WE are the people that can bring change.

[@rooroo8767]

Andy Collier change to what, exactly?

[@drybokes7055]

To a socialist utopia just like Venezuela.

[@TheDharr]

Love this. Jeremy will be so good for Britain. I urge my generation to please vote Labour on June the 8th for a fairer Britain.

[@GablesHorse]

+Miike Hunt So will Theresa May, the woman who stated that she would walk away with 'no deal' for Brexit. Lesser of two evils: Labour.

[@kingkoala7180]

Jeremy 4 PM 👍👍👍👍👍

[@1sosalini]

you fuck off moron . the money tree is being raided to bankroll the tory election .

[@derbyshireman]

Voted for JC this week by postal vote & my friends are too! Even some life long Tory people are voting Labour after 7 years of disaster! :-)

[@br4975]

If everyone converts 1 Tory mindset, we'll win! Don’t assume everyone’s on the internet with access to the information. Get out there, find a Tory and let them know what the realities are. You can use this resource: pbs.twimg.com/media/DARvnogXkAAltvJ.jpg Labours policies : pbs.twimg.com/media/C_-C_hVUAAAUF9b.png

you douche, the 'cons' are perception management central: muppet.

[@mightymuppetz]

Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj Money tree? You mean a fully costed manifesto unlike the tory's?

[@mikey3dtv666]

It's not gay if it's corbyn

[@stopukpovertyuk2392]

😂🤣

[@remaininginlight]

YOUNG PEOPLE: Please get out and vote. Make your voices heard! X

[@hallo4966]

that's definitely key for this election! its up to young people!

[@jacksylvester4763]

remaininginlight you mean the individuals who didn't vote last time then complained of result. The people who don't know how socialism has ruined people's lives in South America and Eastern Europe. Led to famines mass executions dictatorships help us this is my generation and they are total regressives.

[@jackturnbull3719]

The thought that Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott, John McDonnell, Emily Thornbury could be governing this country next week scares the SHIT out of me. This country would be brought to it's knees and people will realise most of what Corbyn promises will never come true and that money doesn't grow on trees. It will be us and future generations that will bear the brunt of a socialist fantasy and all the atrocities that would come with it.

[@TeenVegans]

Jack Turnbull as opposed to Teresa may and Boris Johnson? I would rather take corbyn thanks

[@firebrickwplesu4789]

Very good interviewing. Keep it up.

[@baseera6532]

the month of may is over, month of Jeremy is HERE!!

[@GuytFromWayBack]

Jeremuary

[@PickeringSamuel]

it's the 84th minute, it's 2 - 1 to the Tories and Boris Johnson has just given away a silly penalty Jeremy Corbyn steps up to take it And Teresa May (the goal keeper) hasn't turned up to the penalty kick

[@NeilJ894]

After Tony Blair I said never again to voting Labour, and I stuck to that view until now. Thankyou Jeremy Corbyn for giving me the ability to vote labour again with pride..just please dont do a Tony! I dont really think you would though ;)

[@ericlovelace6502]

The Labour party voted 439 to 70 AGAINST an investigation into Blair's conduct in Parliament during the build up to the Iraqi war. This vote took place late last year whilst under Corbyn's leadership. So vote Corbyn by all means but you'll just get Blair's unrepentant Labour party instead - only with Corbyn's face plastered all over it.

[@NeilJ894]

Im already broke, I'll risk it..

[@MaitreyaNow]

+that guy Matrix You don't seem to understand our monetary system - there is no money so you can't really go broke, we are already bankrupt. Watch the Four Horsemen here on KZbin but ignore the classical liberalist propaganda... It's a good critique of our monetary system but I think the proposed solutions won't free people, quite the opposite.

[@johnfogarty5655]

good comeback.

[@anabelladavies8506]

that guy Matrix you mean like the Tories who doubled our national debt in 7 years?

[@Raffanroll]

Love Corbyn! I believe that in seven days time he will be our next prime minister.

[@georgemiser]

Only if we vote.

[@finbarmurphy6740]

And vote tactically if needed!

[@thotung34]

Raffanroll Doubtful

[@Raffanroll]

Yet where there is doubt Corbyn brings hope...The Labour party with Jeremy Corbyn will defy all the cynics and the doubters! I Believe that this Labour party under corbyn will be a broad church for the many and not just a tiny elitist few. Please Vote Labour on June the eighth.

[@thotung34]

Yeah but just don't get too excited cause it'll just be all the more disappointing like in the last election

[@true4848]

Young people vote for jeremy ...i am hoping that tution fees are abolished.I have no such money

[@nigelgriffen4418]

maze 4 Unfortunately this only applies to the kids who going to uni in the next 2-3 years.

[@true4848]

Nigel Griffen Am going this year ..he promised he would get rid of it by 2018 . But spare the upcoming children and vote on our behalf.

[@nigelgriffen4418]

You'll have to pay your debt regardless.

[@nigelgriffen4418]

There isn't going to free turion fee for uni for you and I RIP.

[@true4848]

Nigel Griffen Why not? just vote labour ans tell youe friends plz

[@mrmegabuckssongs]

Give JC a chance, people. Conservatives have had ages to make a positive change and they've FAILED. It's nonsensical to keep giving more them more chances. Time for a change in leadership. JC4PM!

[@Sm-iw2vh]

Don't worry yourself.... He fucks it all up. X

[@Sotangy247]

Corbyn for PM

[@paul8386]

I am not young - unfortunately but if I were I could not vote for anyone other than Corbyn's Labour! He has been a refreshing change to the murky world of politics! You youngsters - make an old man happy and vote Corbyn - VOTE LABOUR!

[@CheeseyMilkshakes]

I've got 30k down on this election in the form of tuition fees. As a 16 year old I hope with all my heart that Jezza wins.

[@llsspp]

LegitBritish it's shame 16 year olds don't get to vote. Don't worry there are plenty of us that are bang on it, scrap those fees

[@georgedutton9224]

17 years old and hoping too.

[@georgedutton9224]

Although, having said that, I live in Dorset and there's not a chance that anyone but the tories will be voted in here

[@georgedutton9224]

maybe if people our age could vote, labour would stand a chance against the tories.

[@0wls2k]

LegitBritish hopefully at uni you'll learn that it is spelt 'fees' 😉

[@vertonical]

The man is utter class. One whom you would want as PM. Now compare him to that wicked witch who can't even show up to debates. C'mon Britain, make the right choice. Don't 'Trump' this election up.

[@terrymackamckenzie6865]

Jezza Corbyn's got a heart of gold. Tessa May's got a heart of STONE.

[@spaghappy]

TerryMacka McKenzie heart of mould

[@terrymackamckenzie6865]

*Corbyn has laid out a comprehensive plan to stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia.* May on the other hand, wants to continue to support the sugar daddies of ISIS. Get your head out of the sand.

[@RB-87]

You have a lot of hate and vulgarity inside you. It appears you struggle to discuss politics without getting emotional. Maybe this adult stuff isn't for you.

[@terrymackamckenzie6865]

Tessa May triggered me. May June be the END of May.

[@wiretom]

Even when he has the chance to kick her when she's down he doesn't... That's the sort of person we need in this world.. I'd follow him anywhere

[@wiretom]

that guy Matrix and rightly so, but then when she was down he chose not too.. Which is exactly my point... You must be one of those who get told what to think.... Research cognitive dissonance and look in the mirror

[@toddchavez5671]

The guy Matrix he hardly rosted her, he just pointed out a fact

[@barryhughes9764]

Come back Dorothy....I thought you had melted her ! Poll tax saw the end of Thatcher and dementia tax will finish off May. She didn't need to call this election and if she fails to secure an overall majority for her party in this election she will really see the nastiness of her own party. Arrogance is the hallmark of the Tory party. No mercy for the vanquished in the " nasty " party.

[@matthewshedden6456]

I don't believe Corbyn's promises are unrealistic. As a Scot I think it is ridiculous how England is one of the only countries in the EU that pays for tuition, despite it being one of the richest

[@matthewshedden6456]

That does seem like an interesting way to tackle university and hence government spending. My only objection right now that I can think of to that is that students who partake in these online courses such as FutureLearn is that many students do not continue with their studies as it is treated more as something on the side.

[@stevo6969]

Honestly, people, vote this man in.

[@topgurl9313]

I find it admirable that after all the abuse from the press and other parties, over decades, he still sits there confident and sure of his views. The guy is strong. May has crumbled within a few weeks.

[@compassion333]

JEREMY CORBYN ❤❤❤❤

[@sszz130207]

As I'm waiting to begin my fast for the day, I'm desperate to see this man become my new prime minister.

[@Darkwisdom9]

Never seen a comments thread with so much agreement before, it's kind of beautiful in it's own way.

[@redbaron2455]

obi wan wil save us

[@jasoncoleridge5872]

GET OUT THERE ON JUNE 8TH AND DRAIN THE WESTMINSTER SWAMP!!!! #VOTELABOUR

[@Tiddybeth]

The most important thing is, YOU have a say, get out and vote please. I think the Labour manifesto is fantastic. Just MHO.

[@2005peasah]

I have never seen so many people come to see one man who has given not just their freedom, but uplifting them too.

[@gafrmor7758]

Here’s what I’m really struggling to understand. All I’ve ever heard from people, for years, is: “bloody bankers and their bonuses” “bloody rich and their offshore tax havens “ “bloody politicians with their lying and second homes” “bloody corporations paying less tax than me” “bloody Establishment, they’re all in it together” “it’ll never change, there’s no point in voting” And quite rightly so, I said all the same things. But then someone comes along that’s different. He upsets the bankers and the rich. The Tory politicians hate him along with most of the labour politicians. The corporations throw more money at the politicians to keep him quiet. And the Establishment is visibly shaken. I’ve never seen the Establishment so genuinely scared of a single person. So the media arm of the establishment gets involved. Theresa phones Rupert asking what he can do, and he tells her to keep her mouth shut, don’t do the live debate, he’ll sort this out. So the media goes into overdrive with: “she’s strong and stable” “he’s a clown” “he’s not a leader” “look he can’t even control his own party” “he’ll ruin the economy” “how’s he gonna pay for it all?!” “he’s a terrorist sympathiser, burn him, burn the terrorist sympathiser” And what do we? We’ve waited forever for an honest politician to come along but instead of getting behind him we bow to the establishment like good little workers. They whistle and we do a little dance for them. We run around like hypnotised robots repeating headlines we’ve read, all nodding and agreeing. Feeling really proud of ourselves because we think we’ve came up with our very own first political opinion. But we haven’t, we haven’t come up with anything. This is how you tell. No matter where someone lives in the country, they’re repeating the same headlines, word for word. From Cornwall to Newcastle people are saying: “he’s a clown” “he’s a threat to the country” “she’s strong and stable” “he’ll take us back to the 70s” And there’s nothing else, there’s no further opinion. There’s no evidence apart from one radio 5 interview that isn’t even concrete evidence, he actually condemns the violence of both sides in the interview. There’s no data or studies or official reports to back anything up. Try and think really hard why you think he’s a clown, other than the fact he looks like a geography teacher (no offence geography teachers) because he hasn’t done anything clownish from what I’ve seen. And you’re not on this planet if you think the establishment and the media aren’t all in it together. You think Richard Branson, who’s quietly winning NHS contracts, wants Corbyn in? You think Rupert Murdoch, who’s currently trying to widen his media monopoly by buying sky outright, wants Jeremy in? You think the Barclay brothers, with their offshore residencies, want him in? You think Philip Green, who stole all the pensions from BHS workers and claims his wife owns Top Shop because she lives in Monaco, wants Corbyn in? You think the politicians, both Labour and Tory, with their second homes and alcohol paid for by us, want him in? You think Starbucks, paying near zero tax, wants him in? You think bankers, with their multi million pound bonuses, want him in? And do you think they don’t have contact with May? Or with the media? You honestly think that these millionaires and billionaires are the sort of people that go “ah well, easy come easy go, it was nice while it lasted”?? I wouldn’t be if my personal fortune was at risk, I’d be straight on the phone to Theresa May or Rupert Murdoch demanding this gets sorted immediately. Because here’s a man, a politician that doesn’t lie and can’t lie. He could have said whatever would get him votes anytime he wanted but he hasn’t. He lives in a normal house like us and uses the bus just like us. He’s fought for justice and peace for nearly 40 years. He has no career ambitions. And his seat is untouchable. That’s one of the greatest testimonies. No one comes close to removing him from his constituency, election after election. His Manifesto is fully costed. It all adds up, yes there’s some borrowing but that’s just to renationalise the railway, you know we already subsidise them and they make profit yeah? One more time… WE subsidise the railway companies and they walk away with a profit, just try and grasp the level of piss taking going on there. Unlike the Tory manifesto with a £9 billion hole, their figures don’t even add up. And it benefits all of us, young, old, working, disabled, everyone. The only people it hurts are the establishment, the rich, the bankers, the top 5% highest earners. Good, screw them, it’s long overdue. #VoteLabour #ForTheManyNotTheFew !

[@enchantingrose7743]

amazing!

[@ianto8823]

Socialism doesn't work. That's what you don't understand. And that's why lots of people aren't into Corbyn. All this corporations, bankers, media are evil are just misinformed rants. Have you ever worked in corporate, banking, media?

[@mariameneses6461]

Great interview!!!! Hope on the horizon

[@stephendavison2686]

at last a real reason to vote labour. can.t remember the last time that happened

[@congressmanweezy3011]

I love this guy so much

[@tomg2946]

This blokes the only alternative to the 'trickle down shite' economics thats been perpetrated on folk the last 40 years. Its a chance to improve the REAL economy affecting 95% of the people. I hope that he leads the Labour party to a win , because thats a win for the vast majority. End corporate control of Govt, vote Labour. Give folk a chance, at last.

[@tomg2946]

I agree thats the way economics has been pursued over esp the last 40 years, but not always (eg Roosevelt times, Keynsian ideas a major factor), but the neo liberal Ayn Rand inspired style of economics is not the only possible economics. There are multiple alternatives and developments in the last 20 years that contradict the old maxims, much like quantum mechanics shows classical mechanics as being wrong. I do not think the ' sad cold reality' is a law of the universe, after all economics is 'man made plumbing', and replumbing is possible. But I agree a change is difficult due to powerful vested interests.

[@jameselder1103]

something that isn't being talked about nearly enough is the "regulated internet" that the Tories want to set up. that means that if the Tories get in it will become more like Chinese internet.

[@BDaMonkey]

James Elder I don't think this has been talked about enough. It's actually a very frightening prospect.

[@toddchavez5671]

Has the NME conducted interviews with MPs from other political parties?

[@tobybayliss137]

whats the jungle tune at the start??

[@scapingby]

13:13 Notice how they edit/ cut into the next question. Mike Williams clearly pressed Jeremy Corbyn for an answer on whether or not he's a pacifist, and Jeremy was uneasy with the viewer knowing.

[@MoChoudhury91]

well done NME, thanks for your support for Corbyn :)

[@kaziali78]

This country needs a shake up and Corbyn is the man who can do that!!

[@garethedwards4894]

This election result will depend on how many young people go out and vote. Please Please Please take the time to go and vote next Thursday, It's really easy. Just show them your polling card, or just give them your name and adress as long as you are registered and it takes just a minute. The polling station staff are really friendly and helpful.

[@garethedwards4894]

Don't worry about having to take any ID or anything. Just tell them who you are and you will be given your ballot slip.

[@hadeel2530]

tuition fees are crippling me

[@getheroutofthetruck]

wait till you graduate and have rent a spareroom and endure an unpaid internship

[@hadeel2530]

Lawrence Newman look i dont mind there being some sort of fees because i think you should pay for education but not to the extent where it is ridiculous and will negatively affect individuals. before there were no tuition fees then it was 3k per year now its 9k per yer what next 12k!????

[@philporter3045]

I would suggest mark blyth on why austerity doesn't work and richard wolff a harvard economist on what we could do and what is actually going on both are great.

[@brendanmccallion2350]

I saw a great Tweet recently that said: "Commenting and tweeting how much you like Jeremy Corbyn won't get him elected." Get out there, use your vote, and cast it proudly whoever you vote for.

[@sandragriffin8311]

I was a young girl when Thatcher was in, and we have the same state of affairs now with cuts to the NHS, Schools, Housing and Policing. I am one off the lucky ones as Austerity has not really affected me and mine, i am voting Labour for all the people who these cuts are crippling. This country has never and will never be like this under Labour, i cried when Thatcher got in for a forth time and will cry again for all the young and old if they are allowed back in, Please god NO

[@TheMeliaMelody]

PEACE AND LOVEEEEEE

[@treescape]

he is looking after the elderly, disabled as well as the young. I'm a carer looking after a pensioner we are struggling so we have all decided to vote labour. by the way we voted ukip and leave before.

[@melllv]

The only people who did not know Theresa was a non entity are the electorate. She was made out not only to be the best for the job but deserving of a "Supreme Leader" personality cult. They let her make a fool of herself repeating "Strong and Stable" like a dalek. She dropped that but all she has achieved is to give the opposition two great weapons. One they can now repeat " you are not strong and stable are you; you are weak and wobbly". And best of all number two she is now famous as Theresa the changer; the lady who is for turning. The Eurocrats must be rubbing their hands with glee. The Tories are in as much of a mess as Labour. But Labour offers hope and the hope lies with the young. How wonderful. Much better than lying with the old. I am a pensioner and millions of us will not have to live in Theresa's New world order. The rest of the century is the world of the young not ours. The young have registered all they need to do is vote. Oh what bliss it is to be alive. Come on you beautiful people you have an open goal in front of you. Put the ball in the net for health education and a fair world for all.

[@meggosling8451]

Go on Jez!

[@bigandycraik]

This is a great interview which shows Jeremy at his very best, the real Jeremy, not the smear campaign version that the Tories would have us all believe in. His answers here are full of common sense, clarity and wisdom. Why seriously would anyone want anybody else to be our prime minister? I've voted by post already and I implore anyone viewing this to get behind Jeremy and labour too and don't believe the smears. Well done NME - this is the very best interview I have seen with Jeremy and I hope it is widely shared and seen.

[@projectzed5766]

Jeremy is 100%. I had a hard childhood growing up, I had to move house quite a lot, which means changing schools a lot. I didn't settle down and learn. Some schools didn't even let me participate in exams and SATS. Because I hadn't been in the school long enough. Nowadays, I have shite GCSEs and never went to college or uni. I've been working since 16 and I'm 25 now. I have an amazing girlfriend who is supporting me to get back into education :) I'm voting Labour

Jeremy is very good at this he played a blinder. Its all in the hands of the young now. If they turn up on Thursday he could be the next prime minister. If they don't I hope they realise that politicians like this rarely come along and you may never see the like again. All party's will ignore the young because they have nothing to loose and the old fogeys like me who all vote will do very nicely thankyou very much.
