![Jeremy Corbyn: On antisemitism, the media, and UK's coronavirus response [Exclusive Interview]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Po62Qx3UGFY/mqdefault.jpg)
Jeremy Corbyn is the Bernie Sanders of the UK.....same phenomenon.
***** And the Cons are happy about it, which is an ominous sign.
Lex Parsimoniae Surely that's a double bluff though. Telling you they're happy about it is only going to damage Corbyn's campaign, resulting in the candidate they're "happy" with losing. So unless they're complete morons, it's a double bluff.
The Devil One way or the other, you'll need a labour that can actually win elections. I agree with Kendall: we need an antidote to the Tories.
Lex Parsimoniae And it's an utter myth, based on zero evidence and propagated by fear-mongering Blairites, that this wouldn't be the case under Corbyn. Labour need to bring back the people who left during Blair's steady shift to the right between 1997 and 2010. Kendall is exactly what people don't want (a red Tory) and that's reflected in her polling miles behind the other 3 candidates. She's the closest thing in the party to the Tories, so I wouldn't call her an antidote. If people want a Tory, they'll vote for the Tories.
Hermann Kepfer l.m.f.a.o
Imagine someone in mainstream politics doing for the people what Thatcher, Major and Blair did for the super rich.
Iazzaboyce you mean like Clement Atlee? if all goes well Corbyn could become Atlee 2.0
Oh, good old 1970's. A time of such prosperity and happiness........😐
@@user-sf7kl9uh7k Did you know in 1978 Rolls Royce produced and sold an all-time record number of cars?
@@Iazzaboyce I wonder where those cars were sold, the upper rate of tax was 83%?
@@user-sf7kl9uh7k No idea, but 3347 got sold. Were you around in the 70s? There was plenty of work and a single unskilled wage (no 'working tax credits' then) could keep a family and even buy a house.
Chukka Umunna jumping on the anti-wefare claimant train.
incredibleXMan there will be no benefit after the torie have done.
"Anti diluvian"?? Are you telling me Jeremy Corbyn is strongly opposed to rainfall?
I expect better from you, Newsnight.
It's "antediluvian". Look it up
I'm 24. Already. I'm team JC. Chukka Ammunna needs to go work for the cons mate. What a let down he is.
Djay Esgee Maybe he needs to go to work, full-stop.
slothkingn1 are you talking about corbyn or chukka?
No, I just heard something about corbyn accusing his opponents of being racist. i think the person must have got their wires crossed and mistaken him for Chukka. thanks for clarification.
And you weren't to aggressive, your tone was pitch perfect for that tory-lite piece of excrement lol
slothkingn1 Are you Scottish pal?
slothkingn1 oh, so you feel like a wa;king contradiction too?
It would be so much easier if I was Welsh or Scottish.
0:28 wow. Ken Livingston is looking really feminine.
I love the Fox News methods here. 'Many say', 'Some people say', "One senior figure said to me". Name names. If Corbyn becomes leader by popular vote, then he is the most senior figure. It's obvious by the tone of this report that the establishment wants austerity against the weak and not Jeremy Corbyn. The establishment should fund the BBC and not the working people.
Chuka Ummana's basic line, throw away your principles in the hopes of gaining power
Terrible man
@@annenunney9907Much better than Clown Corbyn 🤡
@@user-sf7kl9uh7k really
@@annenunney9907 Yeah, passed his history exams, unlike this filthy old fool.
How’d it work out?
The worst defeat since 1935 is somehow a victory, that's what..
I find it hilarious that the Labour Politicians who say Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable are the same people who thought Ed Milliband was electable.
They are also the same ones that stabbed Jeremy in the back to make sure he was unelectable .
hahaha how is she reading off that tablet when it's upside down???
John, you said he would create massive debt. With George Osbourne in the last five years, the national debt has gone from £800bn to £1.4trn - a 75% increase over five years, yet he is still in the job. He doesn't even have an economics qualification.
Chuka talking about betrayal, how ironic!!!
Chukka Ummana's Portillo moment when he lost his seat in 2019 was pure GOLD...............LAUGH???
Standards at the BBC have really slipped. The word is spelled "antediluvian". *sigh*
Will Lynch No, they're saying Jeremy Corbyn is strongly opposed to rain.
It's better to get the votes of those who didn't vote (which is about 30%) than trying to get Tory votes. All the other leaders will just lead the next general election into the same result as Miliband did.
Great comments well done guys
That was 7 years ago.
All that talk about Corbyn glory and it ended up in failure and a taxi door slamming almost shattering the window 🤣🤣
I wonder if Chucka is looking back at this.
At least he seems to be a politician that actually talks passionately about and leads his campaign with politics! From what I've heard of the other candidates, they, for all I know, could be auditioning for BGT
Lol Allegra Stratton's career has taken a turn since this...
Truly beautiful watching the political robot class actually struggle to hide their fear and anger down :)
0.50 has she realised her iPad is upside down?
So it's more important to win than have principles? Hmm, sounds like symptom of the 'first-past the post' stupidity.
Allegra Stratton..... how the mighty have fallen !
And Fall.
Ads for Apple on the BBC. Disgraceful. Never hear of a cover for your iPad?
This Chuka guy... How is he Labour? He doesn't represent the working classes by talking about 'boxing clever'... Political game playing is what has switched everyone off politics! He's the one living in the past... The Tories have once again, like in the 80/90s forced Labour's hand & at LAST it looks like Corbyn is going to be the antidote... The next election will define the UK - does it want elites stealing everyone's money whilst blaming the disabled & immigrants, or does it desire a fairer & more compassionate society!
Remove the shadow business secretary
Well done JC, I hope you win and I look forward to you stripping away the privilege that controls this country, starting with the Monarchy and the House of Lords and all the other expensive quangos that only serve themselves.
For once on youtube, the comments section is filled with pragmatic level-headed reasonable people.
And it's a Corbyn video.
Figures...
Didn't know Ken Livingstone was a woman 🤔
Fast forward to 2020 . . . That ended well didn't it comrades? 🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩
of course we want jeremy corbyn, why would we need or want 2 tory parties? not only that, the conservatives are being APPROPRIATELY tory which is exactly the angle the new labour mps would be going for, no point having 2 of the same party, jeremy corbyn NEEDS to win so we have more options! also #fairvote
So let's see now... in a few years time we may have Corbyn as PM and Trump as US President. But somehow I don't think this is going to happen.
Please, a question about the people you accused of terrorism in direct and indirect ways, and they are innocent people. Are you looking forward to settling their situation and rehabilitating them? I am a person of twenty-one years in Britain and I do not have any right to life. What is the solution please?
What a disgusting excuse for a human being and where did it get him not Jeremy
No Europe no labour
Blairite liz kendall's face when Jeremy says he would make the railways publicly owned is priceless fake smile to total grimace 4:35. Check it out
The best labour leader the Tories ever had
Ken Livingstone is absolutely spot on!
marks n spencer general
To the Blairtant Lairs considering exiting over Jeremy Corbyn - don't let the door hit your arse too hard on the way out. Byeeee! VOTE CORBYN for hope in the future...
❤️ Jeremy Corbyn 🌹
🤡
"The rise of Jeremy Corbyn", more like the fall of Jeremy Corbyn😂
Chuka go Uc Away
Nice propaganda film BBC. You've outdone yourselves.
Traitor
Jeremy Corbyn gets my vote!
Joe baide fight middle class familya come vivere same case UK labour party coesto bechio ugoale
He ain't never gonna become labour leader. Or prime minister
Cheydinal hahaha
Wake up it's time for a change - the people have had ENOUGH. Time for government of the people by the few for the very very few to END.
I like JC but anyone who claims he can lead the Labour into victory is either dumb or Tory, or both. As much as I hate Blair I agree with him that we need a party that can win elections.
***** As much as I hate Cameron, you stand beside him.
Steve Mc Carron Blair is a bastard the only good thing he did for Labour is to get Labour elected. But it always surprises me that so many tend to denounce any efforts made by Labour as a whole during the years in power while still claim themselves to be Labour supporters.
Steve Mc Carron You'd think the Tories will stop at the current state of the NHS? Or be satisfied with unable to scrap the Human Rights act? The fact you claim to be related to Tony only proves you are a Tory insider.
I, on the contrary, believe the thuggery of the Tories have no limit.
I'm joining labour tomorrow to vote for JC. Another forgotten 20 something.
Paul Brudenell Meh, stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Conservative marxist jeremy Corbyn
I hope he wins and becomes Labour leader.
Then Labour will never be in power again.
***** Well your language speaks volumes. No doubt you are as useless a person as your parents before you. If you really think that Mr Corbyn has a chance then perhaps you should go and visit your GP and look in your medical history because at some point in your pathetic life you have had a lobotomy. Corbyn will never be prime minister because there are very few people who support people who are that left wing. Look at Foot, Benn, Livingstone, all people who have been shunned by the public.
***** It is not possible for Corbyn to become PM. Too many people find his kind of politics terrifying. Trust me it will not happen, but hey as I said I like Corbyn. He is the Tories best friend trust me. And as for going to your GP, you will be able to as they will be open 7 days.
***** Having a left wing labour following will not win you an election.Tony ben was the best friend Margaret thatcher ever had.
Vimal Riktam Tony Benn won elections and was a minister in a Labour government.
Earth 2 If that was true you wouldn't be on here clearly shitting yourself! And attempting to persuade Labour members not to vote for Corbyn. Politics runs in cycles and people a getting wise to the Thatcher legacy and seeing that ordinary people have lost out... No secure jobs, wages fallen against inflation, no homes to rent, high rents, no prospect of owning a home, expensive privatised services, prohibitive education costs, afraid that health care will be inaccessible. People are beginning to see that life in Britain before Thatcher and Blair was actually a whole lot better with Unions and real Labour governments looking out for ordinary people.
Hah, no way he will win!
Jeremy is the much needed dose of proper Socialism that this country needs.
