Jeremy Corbyn: Who is he? (Profile + Interview)

- The UK's Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn was a 200/1 outsider in the Labour leadership contest two years ago. He defied those odds to win and now he is in the race to be next Prime Minister in the UK's general election. And many say the odds are stacked against him again.
According to his devoted supporters, his idealism is exactly what the country needs. But to his detractors, he’s made Labour simply unelectable. So who is he, what motivates him and what’s the future of the Corbyn project?
And we also spoke to him about his foreign policy - asking him: When in the last half century has British-backed military action been necessary?

Fuck me there is a spark of humanity here and everyone is trying to snuff it out.
mc 007 we already have slaves, it's called prison labour, just another insight into modern Britain.
Why can no one interview him like a human being and not a child? It's so annoying. Like whether you like him or not isn't important, you should still interview him fairly.
SomethingLikeThisOrThat ADMIT YOU'RE WEALTHY THOUGH! JUST ADMIT IT! ADMITITADMITADMITAMDMDMK 😂
It's honestly so ridiculous to watch it's like a soap opera gone really wrong
the fairest interview he has had is with JME hahaha
@Farina Marcina May I ask you when has he symphathised with terrorists at all?
IQ of journalist is just too "high " for a proper interview. In Mr Corbyn's answers light she looks like a dark spot.
The US lost Bernie Sanders, lets hope we dont lose Jeremy Corbyn.
Also France lost Melenchon. :(

Sanders is back! And better than ever
Sting-Ray Studios lol worked out well
He's like the opposite of blair
Yes, completely unsuccessful and will never be elected.
a person wouldn't call Blair successful
a person voted in through the conservative decline and the fact he was building on the ideology of Kinnock he himself was a total idiot
He got elected. That is the only criterion of success that matters. You can have great policies, but if you are really unpopular, you won't ever get to implement them.
@@nikrapkyn1253 I hope you are being sarcastic!
the media haaaates him...this tells me that the rich are scared...which means this guy might be the one.
From two years further down the road and with the Tories thrashing around in their death throes and the wealthy wide-eyed in panic; I know, right?
Media hated Trump. By your own logic surely that means he's right?
@@stopukpovertyuk2392 how did the election go? Democracy hated your ideas and voted in a massive majority Conservative Government. Unlucky. That's what happens in a democracy hahahahahahahahahaha
Let me make this real simple for the people of the UK... You have a real choice here... One that most of us never get in politics, you have a choice to vote against neo liberalism, against endless war against global finance gutting the country with toxic trade deals after brexit. If you don't vote for corbyn like him or not you have no one to blame about the downfall of the UK but yourself.
@Alphatech The real irony here is that J Zoidberg is absolutely right. Educate yourself.
i fucking love him. this shows the power media, how can poor people possibly hate this man when he his the only champion they have.
i can and am homeless
kassop If ur homeless how can h afford a computer/phone
He's interested in people and poor people to have a voice and the working people to do better ! Every lie possible has been said about him ! Every
Try to keep things in perspective. It could be worse. You could live under a real socialist government like they have in Cuba or Venezuela. Then you'd have real life problems.
Or a gorgeous Social Democracy like the Northern Europe. They are always topping the Human Development Index and for general happiness. Last I checked Corbyn was a Social Democrat. The fact that you're comparing Norway's economic model to Marxism-Leninism and Hugo Chavez, a revolutionary socialist, to Jeremy Corbyn shows you dont know shit.
nice meme man. If you're referring to the fact that his wages are paid by tax payers, do you dislike policemen for the same reason? We choose to pay them because they have to work full-time to do the job properly. If we didn't, how would anyone but the richest people be MPs anyway? Or would you rather be represented by a guy who juggles the running of the country with working full time down some office somewhere so he can support his family? He doesn't take money from the poor we happily give it to him because he's a representative of the people in parliament.
He is a multi millionaire he can afford to be interested in poor working class people because that's how he became one by taking their union sub's every week.
Done really well hasn't he out of it ?.
@Swift BMF how did it go june 10th ?
Say what you will about Corbyn but he isn't a snake who changes his mind on big issues such as brexit (ahem Theresa May) just to be leader. I was dubious for a long time but he has my vote because at least his campaign is focused on policy.
Exactly. He's been in politics for a long time, has a good knowledge of the history of what works well and what doesn't and has clear goals for what could make effective policy. He's the one to vote for.
If only more voters were voting based on policy rather than some perception of his personality or blatant lies about him.
Sadly Sam, most of those "lies" are actually the truth. It's just that his supporters choose to ignore his rather tainted past. Supporting Hezbulah, The IRA and other terror organisations is not something to brush under the carpet. And now that he wants to be friends with NATO beggars belief! Only six years ago he accused it of being the single most dangerous organisation on the planet.
But, like most newer Labour supporters, you pretend he's nice, fluffy and sincere. If it makes you feel warm inside then I'm pleased for you.
You mean the man who had been very anti-EU all his career who then changed to remain, just to please his party, before going back to Leave after the referendum when his poor cover was clearly blown? Yeah, he totally doesn't change his mind about big issues like Brexit, just to be leader...
Dave long are you still on the tablets dear?
what a genuine and great personality! And he knows what he's doing for the people. The UK missed a huge opportunity!
He honestly didn't. He wasted a great opportunity through his determination to avenge the establishment, and his massively narcissistic demeanour.
If Tony Blair's speechwriter was correct, he would use some examples of actual policies that were 'unrealistic'. These things are said over and over again and people parrot these unsubstantiated views. But any serious consideration of Jeremy Corbyn as leader would recognise that Labour's most important policies are fundamentally different to the Tories' most important policies. Environmentalism / investing in new forms of energy and the 'debate' over pointless austerity are two of the most important issues.
An honest sincere man who cares about us ordinary people. Jeremy Corbyn needs an opportunity to bring about a caring fair society. He will be a brilliant prime minister.
jaci g
In the same way David Moyes was a brilliant MUFC manager.
They never ever allow him to be a prime minister !
All those so called journalist and their friends will go after him with a those stupid question and if he says anything slightly off the line , they'll make it first page and breaking news !!
Who can get all this pressures and still work perfect ?
I believed and still believe he genuinely wanted to help the average people without any hidden agenda unlike 99%. Of the politician !
love this man, JC4PM come on UK !!! its our only chance to change this country and the world for the better!!))))
This changes nothing Labour supporters are deranged by hatred.
JC4P45 June 9th!
Oh noooo we aren't lovely xxx(Deranged by hatred)
Silly
Corbyn is racist. He thinks there are too many rich white men
I don't understand why doing anything to prevent sending our troops, young men and women, sons and daughters, fathers and mothers is the somehow the wrong answer
That's because you live in a world where people DID fight for what they believed in- defending your right to speak.
I have never seen UK media being this biased to anyone else 😞
Nor I. Jeremy Corbyn was and still is treated disgracefully by the rightwing press and the media. Not to forget Tories are outrageous disgracefully toxic when it comes to Mr Corbyn.
Tories are toxic.
Jeremy Corbyn is a kind honest man with integrity.
"Don't let's think all the time about how to go to war ... let's think instead about how to avoid it"
A brilliant response to provocative questioning (and interrupting!)
Wow he stood up really well to that interview!
This man is the purest politician I have seen in a very long time. A politician for the people by the people.
He is a millionaire 30 years of 60k salary from the taxpayer. Disgusting
James Grey rubbish
colin minhinnick Man kind once confronted with alternatives, they tend to do two things: rejected or criticize... Change on the status quo is needed. Get onboard or be left behind..
Whenever you hear someone talking about 'the people', you should be worried.
a person- Okey, I understand that term/word "people" sounds Communist. So instead Corbyn should use terms/words such as individual's; person's or a group of people; anything that does not sound socialist. It's truly a sad world we are living..
Looking from outside Britain, this gentleman seems to be an honest politician.
Something that we can't find on many other politicians.
He´s Bernie Sanders from England.
This is so biased its disgusting. So refreshing to finally see an honest politician! I know who I will be voting for in a few weeks!
What a waste.!!!
@Jayne Robson who is the weirdo.?
He's like someone who works in McDonald's. Fair enough
He just want peace . not for few nationalist but For many❤️ Jeremy
I'm a committed socialist who voted for Jeremy in the first election, I voted for Owen in the second and now in this general election I stand behind Jeremy 100%. He's a very principled man and I feel that he's the only one who can stand between real people and harsh Tory cuts.
Principled...! A lifelong eurosceptic totally ignoring his WORKING CLASS base to please the new metropolitan Labour membership...
If that's your idea of principled then save us from what you construe as unprincipled.
And with my wonderful powers of hindsight, where exactly did ignoring the working classes get him...?
I THANK you for your service, LordSpuggy. I thank ALL Socialists, Communists, Greens, and even Anarchists.
Quantify how much personal benefit Jeremy Corbyn gets at the expense of others, versus how much personal sacrifice he has given for fighting for the working class and truly quantitatively oppressed causes.
Only if you quantitatively prove JC forces more harm onto others, than the good he does, only then will you convince anyone you have a point.@@stephenmcdonagh2795
Corbin had the most brilliant opportunity to directly ask that annoying interviewer whether she supports sending soldiers who have families into war even though it's not the last possible option. Yet he had the humility to simply answer her questions. I'm voting Corbyn.
When I see Teresa May speaking I cringe. When Jeremy is speaking I feel calm and at ease.
OPKAN K
Keep taking the tablets....
Farina Marcina
Agreed.
She is the worst interviews I have ever listened to, just as with Peterson, love putting words in ones mouth
He maybe the UK's Bernie
he sure is! such a good guy! and he would be a fantastic pm!
And yet we don't want him. Ever wondered why ??.
mc 007 define we
@@shanehull6235 I would say that that "we" has now pretty much been defined.
Good job he didn't win then.
Why do reporters ask questions to just initiate an attractive headline, the media is cancer. Reporting political opinions on the run up to election should be banned. Labour aren't as far behind as its being made out to be
Sean Muchenje Couldn't agree more
I love the way that he gives careful thought-through answers: I am glad he pointed out that her characterisation of his answer was unfair, and he clarified what he had said. It surely has to be better to have politicians who are able to say sometimes, there isn't a simple answer to this or that question, and not be badgered into some snap judgement or soundbite.
May wants to be American... Corbyn understands the philosophy, and keeps us British.
Corbyn would loose a world war
@@ballinwithkicks8436 Corbyn would go out of his way to not cause a war he prefers peace,
but May has said she would be the first to press the button causing one despite knowing it would kill millions of innocent people & children
so do you prefer peace or war ?
@@RomaCharly Pressing the button does not cause the war.
@@ballinwithkicks8436 No pressing the button would be the start & finish of a war,
but you still did not answer the question, so do you prefer peace or war ?
@@RomaCharly Of course I prefer peace, but sometimes you just have to stand up to evil with violence.
How he keeps his calm while being questioned by childish people asking incredibly stupid questions over and over again, is a mystery to me.
In an alternate universe, Jeremy Corbyn is Prime Minister and Bernie Sanders is on his second term as President of the United States.
I want to exist there
This is so disgustingly biased against corbyn. So many negative words and portrayals of him.
why all these questions about war and nuclear attack..what do you want as a leader one that prevent a war or one that fuel it? why everyone has a death wish?
The only way to change the wind is to vote. If deep down youre confused by all the hysteria and negativity towards this guy and have a brain open enough to see he is actually a decent human being then make sure you register to vote. It's so important, forget what the papers and BBC are preaching, if all Corbyn supporters vote he most definitely CAN win. #corbyn4pm
strobez mc Have you forgot about the IRA & his terrorist ‘friends’?
@@bernardwilson4475 - You mean the people he 'engaged with' in his belief that dialogue is the only way to avert war? A bit like Thatcher was doing at the same time (but secretly)? The Queen and Prince Charles didn't seem to mind shaking hands with McGuinness either. As for Liz Truss illegally carrying on with arms sales to Saudi, I suppose all of that is ok? Blair took credit for the GFA, but it was politicians like Corbyn who really started the progress rolling.
I agree. His refreshing, kinder approach approach is what is in line with the wider zeitgeist. Progressivism can be pragmatic, no matter what the corporatists say.
To all journos: When did war become a good thing and peace a bad thing?
He is hope. And I hope the turkey's don't vote for Xmas again.
You're delusional, lmao.
So you would rather create a regime with draconian laws, where the rich persecute the poor and foreigners and disabled while they just get richer and richer. Jeramy Corbyn could be the best thing that ever will happen to this country. Give him a chance. Dont let the propaganda lead you. He just wants to make a more fair system. Thersa May want to ensure the rich can exploit the poor. In the end this wont work and the poor will rise up
sorry, are we in cold war america? When communist was an insult?
Ein Sof someone forgot to take their meds
Turkeys 1 Corbyn 0
Turkeys win.!!!!
People may laugh at that last comment on his allotment, but it's true. When you do things that give you the time to think about the world, and not be suffocated with messages left right and center, you emerge with clarity and conviction. Those of you who enjoy to have that alone time and space will get this, and it makes you a better person.
Now all we need to do is convince our family and friends to at least give this guy a chance - not even to vote for him, you can disagree with his politics! Just to give the guy credit by saying "hmm this guy doesn't like war, he wants to support the poor, he is strong on social issues. That is why I WOULD vote for him".
Jeremy Corbyn is on the right side of the Gene pool

Incredible, the way journalists seem to struggle with the difference between personal beliefs and democratic decisions. I don't get what's so hard to understand the simple honesty of having personal beliefs and being open about them, while upholding a different collective decision. That's democracy! It's self-assured confident honesty. "There is nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place."
One honest, genuine, brave and independent man Britain ever produced ! He says the truth regardless, these classic men are rare now, we should vote for him.
Corbyn is Turncoat liar .He just tells people what they want to hear .
@@snowyowel7961 he has done it consistently
Sadly people don't like to vote for decency =-(
basil fawlty nope if you repeat the same message over and over people believe it, remember strong and stable? As a result of the media British working class thinks it's a "centre-right" country and corbyn is Satan.
Say whatever you like, he's a good man.
Oh how I pity you. Hes as nasty as the rest of them.
Cheers for the pity.
his job is to lie to you, in an acceptable calm way
Tbone Willsone You're going to get a lot of pity on Election Day pal. Lol.
Probably, that's democracy.
A once in a generation opportunity that people can't waste.
Unfortunately the people of the UK did just that.
@chris jones and where is it now?
Perhaps people don't want a leader, they want a representative.
We know he can do it. He's got clear goals and he's good with people. He truly cares about people and wants the best for them. What more can you say about him?
PEACE (Y) #JC4PM
This is future being made of a true politician.
The interviewer is war mad 😂. We need much more peaceful people in politics with a respect for the importance of life
two-thirds of the interview questions are about going to war thousands of miles away.... very relevant Channel4news... Pathetic
Juan Ageitos like Labour focusing on the Palestinians thousands of miles away?
"how could i?" (give up my allotment). Gangsta
Good profile and interesting interview well done C4.
Jeremy sticks with the issues, doesn't allow himself to be seduced by the Westminster circus of exchanging personal quips. Quite exceptional, imho.
A man of true principle thats who, real fucking integrity this bloke. Maybe there is hope in politics
Only if we keep him where he is.
I am not a Jeremy Corbyn supporter or labour voter. I must say though that he comes across as a principled and honest man.
Because I disagree with his politics that is no reason to vilify him or what he stands for.
One of the saddest things about politics today is that we seem to have lost the ability to disagree with each other without being violently disagreeable.
Principled and honest lolol everyone who knows him will tell he is hugely anti EU but at the slightest sniff of power he's ditched any morals he ever had he's a terrorist sympathiser and his now racist party has been taken over by the extreme left a vote for Jeremy corbyn is a very very dangerous thing to do please take some time and do some research. Also remember Labour are the only party to be investigated for racism y the police
Christopher Szabo I may well be wrong about him appearing to be honest and principled. That makes no difference to me because I simply disagree with most of what he has to say and therefore will not ever vote for him or the Labour Party
I like people like you, someone who understands different viewpoints exist.
He is right in what he says.
"Let's not go to war, let's prevent it."
The ONLY descent man British politics has produced in 50 years.
Corbyn
I noticed footage from a leadership hustings last year with Owen Smith. It looked like the Cardiff one which I attended.
Beautiful sincerity this man has, a rare 'breed' among 'politicos' - he would do the Brexit thing so much better., atm. Alas!
Our only hope
Cat Birral LITERALLY
It would have to come to that before i would vote for dictatorship.
The man is a fool and late of this parish.
mc 007 you certainly got your wish, the great repeal bill has passed, and believe it or not it extends to all policy not just brexit.
@basil fawlty Oh I agree both Jeremy Corbyn & George Galloway would be a powerful force against the corrupt in politics
I be met him before and all thought I don’t agree with his politics he is a very nice person.
even the interviewer has come round to him by the end
I envy the British that they have such a knowledgeable and fair leader. I wonder why has he not been elected yet?
Dianne Abbott in charge of our ministry of defence 🙈🙏🤡🌎
Papa Megan - Wallace (who he?), Mordaunt, Williamson, Fallon, Liam (Werrity) Fox are better?
#GE2017 #ToriesOut #VoteLabour #JC4PM he did more than the rest of the labour did for the remain campaign. stop the lies
MrGar1975 GE coming up - still appropriate!
jamie69murphy yes yes!!!
then stop telling them he is a man who does not represent on one issue the ppl of this country and if you want a government who leave notes saying we spent it all you may get your wish
another public schoolboy with middle class upbringing choosing politics as a living
MrGar1975 so reading your comment made me chuckle how did that election go for you then?
in my school everyone in one for chants 'oh jeramy gorban' and repeats it over and over. even at the end of a party at a night club they did it
I have really come to detest Cathy Newman interviews. They don‘t illuminate-they grate on the nerves!
The only BRAVE and HONEST Politician since the birth of the United Kingdom.
he is an honest leader n i trust him
How did this work out?
The most objective piece of journalism I`ve seen about Corbyn from the mainstream Brittish media
It is blatantly obvious that he says what believes in and he believes in justice without prejedice so of those having prejedice would never like him and so do we who shares the same as view as him. Showing contempt for those less fortunate is mental sickness and worse is when contempt is described as a logical thinking by those few who are infected with this desease. Voting for JC is the only way forward today for a progressive soceity as a whole, period.
jc is looks good . i reckon he'd do very well. the end of thatchers failed experiment and the resurgence of britain. and he looks like a decent bloke
Jeremy for the millions not the millionaire.
Monsieur Zen. 🤣 I never heard them refer to him like that. 👍🌹JC4PM
Lol hes getting hate cos he's facing the people and not the camera's? smh.
The public are with you, Jeremy. Stay strong in your beliefs.
Norrin Radd lol how did that work out for you?
@@jameslyddall How did voting against him workout for you?
When I need questions answered about historical materialism, I always turn to a Murdoch-owned former speechwriter for Tony Blair.
She's still working after her Peterson interview lol
How can someone who believes in the power of talking be considered a terrorist sympathiser. Terrorist are only ever made through the act of terror. If you stop terrorizing people then they will stop trying to hurt or kill you.
J.Wallace Animator ikr
LOVE CORBYN!!!
He needs to learn from Sanders. Have talking points, slogans even, and bring it back to them repeatedly - don't go down rabbit holes answering their weird questions about nuclear first strikes. Bring it back repeatedly to housing, education, NHS, re-nationalisation of certain industries - all the policies that are popular with the public.
Really valid point about him being a man of protest not politics. Not saying that’s bad, just true.
Jeremy Corbyn is a rare thing on the left or right, a conviction politician.
He's a career politicians like all MPs He's made millions since he's been an MP
He was brilliant in that interview. This time round - let him win!
Yes. Lets give him a chance. Lets see what he can do.
Corbyn is fucking amazing at answering questions. You don't even realize until you compare and contrast him and May, she ducks and dives, he straight up answers what is put in front of him.
From the US, I implore you; please vote Corbyn.
I cannot wait to vote for Jeremy on June 8th.
aidencurl how has it all worked out for
You? 😂😂😂😂
Love the man, where can I find a man like him? 😍
Mackem Scouse I assume you don’t like Corbyn
Try a meeting of the International Socialists in Wigan in 1935.
Better looking rats in the sewers.
When cycles away from them on the bike - LOL
These are not the same 'profiles' put out before the election.
the comment section of this video is a testament to just how terrible the British public are at looking at anything objectively.
Coysgub Agreed.
I support him 100 percent . His points are incredible , WHY DON'T PEOPLE LISTEN TO HIM !!!
they just can't deal with non sound bite TV. and this is one of the better news outlets
In the words of margret thatcher ‘’you would rather the poor be poorer as long as the rich are less rich’’
YES. We do need Corbyn to get in power this time. We have another opportunity, let's do it!
no
A GREAT MAN !!!
Nuke our enemies...
He is so great he is a caring great wonderful person. Please please vote 1 Jeremey.
really hope he will become PM
