Anyone planning on watching?

Thought Jeremy did well in the audience questions segment.

Also think he was great in the Paxman bit - kept his cool despite interruption halfway through every single answer (you'd think as an educated guy he would understand JC's requests to let him finish)

No doubt the man who dubbed himself a "one-nation Tory" will be a bit softer on May!!

Doje · 29/05/2017 21:29

Oooh, she didn't get away with that comment on Labour's figures!

Topseyt · 29/05/2017 21:28

May still cannot say what the cap will be for social care. She has had at least a week now to sort that one out and clearly hasn't.

Whistleblower0 · 29/05/2017 21:28

As usual, all waffle, not a single questioned answered. What the fuck is the point of Faizel Islam? (I think that's his name.)

DriftingDreamer · 29/05/2017 21:27

She has not had much applause yet....

WindyWednesday · 29/05/2017 21:25

Thank you ponder I missed that bit. Unloading the dishwasher.

Saucery · 29/05/2017 21:24

Don't just talk to Faisal!

DriftingDreamer · 29/05/2017 21:23

She is being allowed to waffle,,,

PonderLand · 29/05/2017 21:23

@windy Jeremy Corbyn did the audience questions as well, then went on to have an interview with paxman.

Dawnedlightly · 29/05/2017 21:22

She didn't say how many armed officers there are now, did she? And she wasn't pressed by this wet lettuce Hmm

GlitterGlue · 29/05/2017 21:22

I imagine Theresa will negotiate in much the same way a small child does when demanding a biscuit before dinner.

Whistleblower0 · 29/05/2017 21:22

Thought Corbyn did really well. I wanted to punch paxman on his behalf.Angry

WindyWednesday · 29/05/2017 21:21

Why did Corbyn get to have a sit down and May is standing up? is this live? such a different format for the second interview.

DriftingDreamer · 29/05/2017 21:21

Yup- just want the Tory majority to be slashed.....

NannyOggsKnickers · 29/05/2017 21:20

I've never been a massive fan of JC but he came across well and I found myself agreeing with almost everything he was saying.

DriftingDreamer · 29/05/2017 21:19

She will have advantage as will have seen his responses....

Whistleblower0 · 29/05/2017 21:19

What a prize dick Paxman is.

Topseyt · 29/05/2017 21:18

I am not a particular Corbyn fan, but thought he generally held up well, especially under the onslaught of the Paxman juggernaut.

The IRA question is his Achilles heel, as it should be. It is one of the reasons I do have doubts.

Bluntness100 · 29/05/2017 21:18

It won't be the exact same questions, she won't be at an advantage. However yes he was hard on corbyn and should be as hard on her.

Flatpackback · 29/05/2017 21:17

The IRA peace treaty only came about from engaging with terrorists. Nelson Mandela was a "terrorist" for years AFL. I agree with Corbyn, eventually the grievances have to be listened to and discussed. The earlier it happens the better to avoid needless loss of life. If only other political leaders would learn this. I think he's doing well. May on now , wait for the platitudes and sound bites. Word bingo anyone?

DriftingDreamer · 29/05/2017 21:16

I hope it is 'of course'...
She is at an advantage if she has seen previous stuff...

LuluLovesFruitcakes · 29/05/2017 21:16

Gosh I thought there were only so many times a person can say "can you let me finish please" 😯 I was apparently wrong!

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 29/05/2017 21:14

Of course May is going to be treated the same

Ffs he is the toughest of interviewers he wants answers not a practised speech in response

Not great for Corbyn but few come out looking good after a grilling from Paxman

Cherryflamingo · 29/05/2017 21:13

Think JC held his own quite well there.

leeha · 29/05/2017 21:12

JP is so irritating, I hope he treats Theresa the same 😠
