Andrew Marr: 'We have nurses going to foodbanks, that must be wrong.' Theresa May: 'There are many complex reasons why people go to foodbanks.' Yes. Survival is complex.

[@mikehito5226]

What an unbelievable answer!!!!!!!!!!

[@JJ-te2pi]

Her answers are so incredibly vague, so incredibly monotonous, why are people voting for her?

[@ProfessorSlime283]

Visions Of Light 😂😂 she can't answer a single question straight up. She is an idol for all elitist politicians lool

[@robo6548]

Like so much in life, because she is the least worst option.

[@maxmustermann220]

Wow, that interview went south for her. I had no idea she was such a weak candidate.

[@Apexbossman]

Where have you been do you not watch pm Qs she's just regurgitating the empty stuff she says all the time with her hollow punch lines a real

[@Seanramiz]

Jeremy Corbyn is diplomatic and is the leader that is the most democratic and progressive and answers questions honestly and just. Yet we get May who is constantly avoiding questions but claims to be 'strong.' Get real, i'd rather pay higher taxes and see our public services properly funded where we save more money, than pay little tax and see our services dying. #VoteLabour

[@pauladams1814]

Couldn't agree more I for one don't want Boris negotiating for the UK. I mean BORIS 😲

[@allpoliticsnoeconomics4186]

Unless you're a big business or you're dead with an estate above 350k it's more than likely you won't pay higher taxes under a Labour government

[@danielhelder9939]

Seanramiz Vote Labour 🌹

[@blahblah9619]

All politics No economics Exactly!!!!

[@mightymuppetz]

People consider her a strong leader and yet not Corbyn? He's far more eloquent and charming than she is. She can barely string a sentence together and crumbles under the pressure of difficult questions and a TV camera. No wonder she won't appear in TV debates.

[@astalavisitor]

are these your criteria of a "strong leader" ? wow we are fucked...

[@henrixd5155]

Watch the Corbyn interview... he didn't answer a single question ;) she wont appear in debates because why should she? she's already won X'D Labour has already lost seats XD

[@henrixd5155]

Someone's got there tit's in a twist haven't they ;) and I don't think avoiding the topic and trying to push another narrative counts as answering the questions ;) and Not really the fact she doesn't need to bother is in a way a sign of strength not having to bother while the child scrambles to get all his Lego bricks into place! ;) But I can place XD all I like ;) it's amusing how rather than actually adding to a debate you focus on that! ;) ;) ;) shows the intellect ;) ;) ;) also someone's assuming I'm a Tory oh dear ;) ;) I never said I was voting for her simply stating she's going to win ;) ;) ;) (I wonder if these are winding you up? ;) ;) ;) ;)

[@AndrewBarracloughComposer]

One of the richest countries in the world and we have our nurses going to food banks, disgusting.

Hi troll

[@becomingfr33]

DaveThe debt is actually almost 2 trillion. Before the tories were elected it was 700 billion. You were saying?

[@simonecowell5559]

Chris Peters i don't buy that, they earn 1000s more than I do and I don't go to foodbanks. I work with nurses, one of them just bought a cockapoodle. My niece is a nurse, she has a car and a preceptorship, she doesn't go to foodbanks either. Utter bullshit. What a waste if they are going to foodbanks

I never said it was.

[@TeeVeeStevie]

No wonder she's too scared to debate. That was awful. Didn't answer a single question properly and just waffling pre prepared responses.

she can't answer a single and simple question.

from strong and stable, to mucking out stables and doing her weekly shop at the food bank if karma has anything to do with it.

[@BNJT]

Marr: "People can listen to that kind of thing and think it's a bit robotic." May: "Programming error...does not compute."

[@dylanbrownie]

Couldn't answer the question about food banks. A party of the rich, for the rich. Disgusting.

[@JJ-te2pi]

Couldn't answer a question about anything! She is dire.

[@cantonic_1774]

not even for the rich. for the richest of the rich. it's not just the poor who suffer from tory leadership, it's everyone who doesn't own a corporation or a hefty inheritance.

[@markn7585]

Hi troll

[@M2Mil7er]

May asks you to vote to give *her* more power. Corbyn asks you to vote to give *you* more power.

[@phildobson8705]

mysterywhiteboy72 Corbyn give you power? Corbyn is only going to give EU power, tax companies out of business Tax on business is tax on us workers. Being on benefit under Corbyn is no power at all

[@phildobson8705]

Revoltingsheeple Trickle down economics doesn't work. That's why we battled for 200 years to get better rights and eventually a living wage *provided by Conservatives* not labour

[@PeopleBeemusic]

Hi troll

[@purkie103]

The re-branded the minimum wage the "living wage" that the conservatives created is not the living wage people were asking for. www.livingwage.org.uk/what-is-the-living-wage

[@HBombzorz]

Dude, the Trade Boards Act 1909 was what brought in minimum wages and that's a liberal government! Or do conservatives also get to claim the term "living wage" which has been a thing since ancient greece? Labour, on the other hand, brought in the welfare state and a bunch of national services including the Holy Grail our NHS! But of course, Labour being lead by a socialist is all about that greedy leader Mr.Corbyn.

[@maricarmengarciabernal982]

She just recites what she has learnt by heart, without replying the questions.....

[@jimmygoode9482]

She obviously doesn't care about poor people

[@skitskot]

Think it's disingenuous to say she doesn't care about poor people. She clearly does, she's just going the wrong way in helping them. I dislike Theresa may for her roboticness and political cheap shots at Corbyn, though I feel there's a decent person unlike Cameron , who is a wretched human being.

[@NickSBailey]

Yes start businesses so the tories can leech more from them, she does not care if she did she would realise cutting benefits to incentise people into work will fail because most people on benefits are already in work, in low paid work caused by tory policies or lack of.

[@richhogg8074]

She cares about poor people that's why she ships in her own supporters when she goes to visit them

[@ShimmerUK1]

I fail to see the caring hell they even attack disabled people every time they do a new budget who many can't even defend themselves study have shown death rate has tragically gone up in that area to the point where it under investigation by the UN for the mistreatment. Also suicide rates have gone up since 2010 could that be a linked to metal heath cuts hell probably but who cares it was in decline before statistic by the Samaritans charity will collaborate this. I am truly worried with the UK the tone is nasty there little debate just a lot of hate speech and slandering anyone who has different ideas it seems and a fantasy reading of statically facts more so by conservative supporters I have to say and I am pretty impartial when it comes to either party I will read there manifestos and decided then if I like what I read. I also confused why people attack communist idea and Marxist ideas but never attack capitalist ideas? as far as I can tell they all got there good point and bad points why could we not discuss them properly in the country and maybe look to use any good ideas in a feasible way but all we get is Left this Right this Communist this Marxist that Trotsky this sigh I doubt most the people even know what there ideas was but follow propaganda like blind sheep dogs drooling at the chance to utter the words in a hate they don't even understand why they should hate it lol.

[@simonecowell5559]

Jimmy Goode she cares more than labour. Labour wants to drain our finances on benefits for lazy people and Conservatives want jobs. Once you have a job, you don't have to go to a foodbank if you buy wisely. Too many people on benefits that don't deserve it, THAT's where you get the money for the NHS. You want teachers? Become one. You want nurses? Become one. You want money? Make it yourself. What's stopping you but Labour promises of something for nothing. Lazy cowards.

[@justicejericho97]

If you're too lazy to watch the entire video: Theresa - "We want to give people that support under the welfare system" Is that why 3 million people would be £2000 worse off if your proposed austerity cuts were put through, and why thousands died because of your cuts to benefits, and why millions of people are using food-banks, and why the NHS is being dismantled piece by piece, shipped off to the highest bidder? Theresa May - "I think the best route out of poverty is work" - Theresa May Does she not realize that a lot, if not a majority of people in poverty ARE AT WORK ? If you support or defend this vicious party that is openly waging a war against the poor then you are scum. Marr asked her if she planned to continue austerity as economic policy and she started talking about getting the best possible deal on Brexit. One trick pony isn't she. "Education in England is badly underfunded, is there any prospect of change?" Theresa May starts talking about protecting the core budget, even though funding is falling, and there are more students than before in schools. She then said that as pupils increase funding increases, but funding is falling, so she is literally telling lies about the children of this countries education, as the Tory budget cuts education funding further and further. Marr - "You need to look at funding in schools" May - "What we need to look at is to make sure we have a fair funding system". Nothing but buzzwords which mean nothing. Schools having to make 3 billion £s worth of cuts to make room for the growing student population is NOT fair. Reducing Government funding for schools in relation to the student body is NOT fair. She is using the word "fair" to spin her lies to manipulate people to vote against their own interests. It's a completely mad world. She's planning to spend £15 billion on nuclear apocalypse world ending submarines but not willing to spend any money on the future of the children in this country. Absolutely bonkers. The Tory's have a triple tax lock so they can get away with cutting every single aspect of public services which in turn makes life for everyone that much worse (unless you're super rich and can afford private everything, which 99% of the country cannot). The Tory government are rubbing our beloved public services into the mud, yet people will walk to the polling station with a smile on their face and vote for it happen. You get what you pay for then. She wants to reduce taxes for working families, but that will result in a fall in state revenue, which will cause cuts and provide fuel for austerity to continue, sot more services that working families rely on will be cut down, so working families have less money in the long run, because despite having a higher tax ceiling, they are cutting support systems and public services which makes the reduction in tax obsolete and in fact damaging. You trick people into thinking you're doing them a favor whilst stabbing them in the back. Theresa- "Vote for the Conversatives who are a low tax party." Aye. Low tax for your millionaire chums. Low tax for billion-pound corporations. Low tax meaning low state revenue meaning more borrowing, more state debt, higher deficit, more cuts to public services. More cuts to the welfare system. Low tax isn't a good thing, but convincing the majority that what is bad for them is good for them is the Tory way isn't it. You say low tax which gets everyone excited, but then when they're waiting for 4 hours in the emergency room or can't get a GP appointment for 2 weeks, or when they have to walk to the foodbank because they rely on it to feed their families because you've cut their welfare support, that's not very exciting is it.

[@blahblah9619]

hear hear!!!

[@kirigreen3947]

Thanks! I can't bear it all but...I guess I must

[@JJ-te2pi]

No wonder she doesn't want to face other leaders in a debate. She isn't a strong leader at all, in fact, she has very little substance. 'Strong and stable' doesn't cut it, and she is a robotic politician. I voted Tory last GE, not this time.

[@zinnydonovan3681]

Joseph J I presume you'll vote labour then.

[@shaddyhacker]

Her answer to everything is "strong economy" but economy is shittier than '08 at the moment.

[@MrRandom400]

shaddyhacker I mean, that's not true...

[@Toby-yf7ze]

shaddyhacker I mean that's not really true is it. Even after the inflation caused by the recession and excessive quantative easing (by Brown). And after the £ dropped after Brexit. The Tories have done well for our economy, but at what cost?

[@gbjanuary]

shaddyhacker well said all because she has no answers she is only interested in protecting the wealthy elite.

[@gbjanuary]

Toby Baxter why are Tory continuing austerity and cuts if they have done so well for the economy. The economy is now stalling or did you miss those articles. Food banks come in under Tory rule because the economy is not good.

[@Toby-yf7ze]

gbjanuary Right so imagine how shitty the flow of money would be if Labour had stayed in. And I'm aware of the food bank situation, hence me saying "at what cost"

[@Vertaghost]

As an American middle class going through the same things with our government all I can say is that it all goes well over there. Been thinking about future and how globalization might be inevitable.

[@Awayze]

Vote Labour. She has no idea what the people want.

[@blazednlovinit]

Fuck comrade corbyn, he's a right joke.

[@puke76]

blazednlovinit all you have is soundbites that the Daily Mail gave you

[@Awayze]

Why exactly? Yet May who avoids every question or rarely gives a proper answer is better? The Tories are for the rich people and are out of touch with reality.

[@blazednlovinit]

@Puke, I don't read the Daily Mail, try again. You could always counter with some kind of argument (oh wait, you can't)

[@t814]

If Theresa has been so very clear, why do voters know Jeremy Corbyn's policies better than hers?

[@UnknownUser-kp4nb]

Debt debt debt, that's not better, that's worse

[@greggjackson1052]

We have a strong enough economy to fund a failed trident and pay rise for MPs.

And a tax payer funded bar in the House of Commons.

I've never been bothered to comment on politics BUT she is RUBBISH

[@alexalex8270]

vote corbyn

[@DeKat-84]

People did. lol. She called the election herself and was de-stabilised by her own actions. Ha. "weak and wobbly" is the more accurate quote I've seen recently.

[@cantonic_1774]

l now understand why she hides away from the public.

[@commentpost907]

She's so evil, she can't even fake empathy.

[@commentpost907]

I guess my evil is someone with sociopathic tendencies. Something you can't argue with, she has sociopathic tendencies.

[@ketaminemeltdown]

"Of course I want them to vote for me" Only your constituents can do that, Theresa. This isn't a Presidential election (although you clearly want it to be one)

[@theearlofgrantham9816]

Surely she meant her party?

[@ketaminemeltdown]

You'd hope so, but no. She's turning (well, trying to) it into a Me vs Corbyn presidential campaign.

[@pigeon1010101]

AM actually joked about her using her go to robotic 'strong and stable leadership' slogan and then she uses it 10 minutes later..

[@davidleighton9842]

She continuously talks about lower taxes, higher paid jobs. The current problem is that families have to rely on such things like tax credits to survive. I want to live in an economy that ur wage covers ur ability to live. We should not be relying on government handouts to survive. If you work you should be able to cover ur basic living costs.

[@DubbRS]

The government aren't your mommy and daddy, find a higher paid job

[@davidleighton9842]

Dubb RS sorry ur obviously a tool, I was talking about every job should cover basic living expenses, people working should not be claiming tax credits to survive. That clear enough for ya??

[@DubbRS]

No one forces you to accept a low paid job, if it doesn't pay enough to cover basic living expenses then don't accept it???

[@trezzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Shes told what to say, she goes on TV repeats rehearsed points and views, might as well ask siri the questions

[@t814]

This election isn't about you Theresa.

[@scotttaylor1812]

This woman is unbelievable- no sound bites she said then immediately used her biggest election in my era soundbite.

[@isoaqua5825]

will she ever give a straight answer?

[@t814]

Theresa May: "Every vote for me will strengthen my hand in those [Brexit] negotiations." Jean Claude Junker: "She is in a different galaxy. No deal is very likely." Even Andrew Marr asked her if she ever stops and thinks she got it all wrong.

[@OfficialBrisk]

She hates this, she's very uncomfortable defending her choices. Corbyn was cool as a cucumber ❄🥒❄

[@terrydavies614]

Cuts to public services cuts to the health service and it's doctors and nurses. If you vote Tory when your son's and daughters get no health care or schooling remember you voted against your own family.

[@gbrioche]

Everyone needs to see this. She's a disgrace.

[@justsomekid33]

The Tories are a shocking legacy. VOTE LABOUR.

[@sickbailey21]

*A tory government will show strength and stability for everyday people by:* - Increasing tuition costs yearly. - Fighting to cut disability benefits. - Providing the same value in tax breaks to the top 20% of earners as the bottom 20%. - Building council homes with starting values of £450,000 which very few working class people will ever be able to afford. - Increasing your pension age and refusing to put locks in place. - Fighting to increase taxes on the self employed. - Pretty much removing any chance at class mobility they possible can. - Hiding from debates where people have serious conversations about policy substance. - If all else fails, more war. *Jeremy Corbyn wants to make us strong by:* - Creating a real living wage, where people have real disposable income and time off. + Just cos this point will catch hate. a £10 min wage and 4 extra holiday days a year is an extra £150 a week for almost a 1/3 of our working people. This is the kind of extra cash flow which will really push our economies forward, because these are typically the people which spend rather than save. - Reducing/removing tuition fees, so you don't need to be born to wealth to get the best education, or get that education and be swallowed by 60k worth of debt which now has private interest added. - A pledge for a million new homes to be built, in areas which will actually be affordable. - A true anti war contender which has held the same tune for over 30 years. Every time we bomb someone we get less safe at home, more terrorist attacks all across europe. Jeremy isn't going to make us less safe, he's going to help slow down the hate. - Opening a dialogue with anyone. *If you can genuinely show a policy based reason why May is better than Corbyn, please do. I'll be happy to reason it out in the comments.*

[@Apexbossman]

She looks very angry that he's putting real questions to her and not licking arse 😂

[@isoaqua5825]

1. End Military Interventions in the Middle East 2. Develop a defence policy that reflects the reality of the threats to the UK (including cyber attacks) 3. More Bank Holidays to reflect the our cultural heritage. 4. Proper public funding of the NHS - end privatisation. 5. Affordable wages for all and bring more people of benefits. 6. Proper funding of all our schools - a decent school place for every child. 7. Tariff free trade with the EU and give all EU nationals living in the UK right of residency. Vote Labour!

[@RedWazzies]

Nurses going to Foodbanks?!?!? Wow... The country is in real trouble :-O

[@simonvalsler4778]

After watching that 30 minutes of pre rehearsed sound bites and vacuous replies, there really can be only one choice!! I felt Marr should have grilled her a lot more on foodbank issue "there are many complex issues why people use foodbanks" NO, ITS NOT COMPLEX LOVE!!!! People use them when they cant afford to fuckin fead themselves and their familes!!! Also, the Tories and the right wing press (same thing really) continue to pedal this narrative that if you find a job you will be 'miraculousley' lifted out of poverty and into the land of milk and honey!! This is utter horse shit of course, as most people in poverty are also in work. The truth is that there simply arent enough jobs, and the ones that are available are poorly paid and insecure, however this is never discussed of course! CMON JEZZA - LETS BURY THIS WHITCH!!!!!!!!

[@paulod27]

What you just said was in arguably profound. Let's not forget that automation is killing jobs as well but most Politicians don't want to talk about that.

[@Aldeni1551]

No wonder she's avoiding debates and interviews, she can't handle them. Didn't expect her to be so weak.

[@interstein]

gyrovague EXACTLY

[@puke76]

Yep, you'll get a lot of bullshit revisionist history from Tories. They rail against socialism but were ok with it when we bailed out the banks

[@blahblah9619]

gyrovague I do agree with the bedroom tax to an extent. To make it fair, I think mansion tax should be imposed. However, with people paying bedroom tax in council properties with extra rooms I do agree with it, because the government pay 50% of their rent for council property, when they have extra rooms we have homeless people that need a room, and I don't find it right that the government pay for a council room that is not occupied. Furthermore, I do not agree how it was imposed, I think the government should of dealt with the collateral damage that came with it, helping people downsize etc

[@t814]

Boris' vanity project has finally been binned. Now for Theresa's. #gardenbridge #grammarschools

Since 2010, the Tories have cut, among other things: The Independent Living Fund (ILF), which previously supported people with care packages. Since the government cut it, in some areas 88% of people have seen their care packages reduced by up to 50%.Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) for sick and disabled people in the Work-Related Activity Group (WRAG) by a third. This will affect 500,000 people.55% a week from ESA for sick and disabled 18-to-25-year-olds.51,000 disabled people’s Motability vehicles, which were important for them to live independently.PIP from 164,000 people living with mental health issues. And the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has reduced or stopped PIP for nearly half (45%) of all claimants. And meanwhile: The DWP was caught up in a scandal involving fit-for-work assessors asking people why they hadn’t “killed” themselves.A study found that the DWP fit-for-work assessments caused people permanent mental health damage.62% of people the DWP sanctions live with mental health issues.10,600 people died after their benefit claims ended.90 people a month are dying after the DWP declares them ‘fit-for-work’.590 people may have taken their own life due, in part, to DWP fit-for-work tests. Meanwhile the deficit has got worse.

Brexit is important but it is a distraction from having to the basic things right. This election is going to be very important for Theresa May as it affords a big distraction for 3 months plus a second honey moon period while we all become JAM . sorry not all but most of Us!

Stephen Crabb, self confessed Christian and upholder of family values and fidelity, who was caught Sexting to someone NOT his wife, is a believer in "Pray-Away-The-Gay" advocated by groups like CARE. John Glenn, Tory MP for Salisbury has interns supplied for free by Care and their Gay Cure philosophy. Yes the Tories are very clear about homosexuality.

Strong enough economy... Strong enough economy... Strong enough economy... Strong enough economy... Wtf? Do you have a robot president or what? So frustrating interview... Oh my Lord... That is the image of British politics to the world? Wow. I think Europeans like me, will have a good negotiation vs ur country. She only say "Strong enough economy...", nothing more. It's like a bird who only knows repeat one phrase.

I can see why Mrs May doesn't want to participate in live TV debates. That was cringe worthy.

[@t814]

I wonder which part of this car crash interview the BBC are going to select as mini clips. What are the chances of Theresa's future interviews not including the words "nurses" or "schools"? Will Theresa even be doing anymore live interviews? #ImVotingLabour #JC4PM #ourNHS

Theresa May "We need to be fair in order to achieve the fairest way to engage a fair approach to a fairly complex issue which can only be fairly resolved by being fair"

[@elkhananeli]

The difference between the way Marr treats TM (fawning exclamatory adulation) and the way he treats JC (like dirt...) is the way of the BBC now. Goebbels must be astonished that the country he propagandised against has taken his methods so much to heart...

JUNE MARKS THE END OF MAY !

[@DaboooogA]

She clearly does not deserve to be in government

[@t814]

DaboooogA She failed at her last job, which I noticed they didn't go into, failed at sticking to the election pledges of this government too and now she wants us to vote her in for the top job? #ImVotingLabour #JC4PM #ourNHS

[@deadlyyellowrose]

She's not even giving facts, just repeating the same message that they want a strong government. What a joke

[@zulaigaworth4401]

I'm not from the UK. So I don't really have a political stake in the UK. I just look at the election as a global citizen.

[@oliveroconnor5983]

Her legs don't look real

[@butihaveahat]

"complex reasons" for people going to food banks. hmm.. she still wouldn't unfreeze pay... complex

Andrew: we don’t want sound bites. May then proceeds to say sound bites.

[@thomashackett1058]

Hahaha brilliant... I was for a short time fearful that the Tory's would win. But thankfully both her and her policies crumble under scrutiny. We need her to take part in more interviews and debates.

[@thomashackett1058]

Also.. I'm not in total agreement with Corbyn, but compare this to Marr's interview with Corbyn and it's easy to see who will provide this 'Strong and stable' leadership she keeps banging on about. We just need to keep her talking and people might start to see sense.
