  • It's so funny how all 3 combined can't even get close to Corbyn.
  • @logician360
    Yvette Cooper wants to go forwards, not backwards; upwards, not forwards; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!
  • @Raskolnikov32
    Burnham on Blair: "He made some mistakes." He took the UK to war on false pretenses and in direct violation of UN resolutions, which led to the destabilising of the Middle East, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, the displacement of millions of people--the effects of which are still deeply felt to this day! He made some mistakes, indeed.

    The only person worth listening to was Jeremy Corbyn. It never ceases to amaze me how folk can develop the ability to talk incessantly without saying much...that is pretty much the stock in trade of the other three, and in fact of most politicians. Jeremy is the right man for Labour.
  • @jakebramham5063
    Its strange, one of the big criticisms andy, liz and yvette have had for jeremy is that he isnt a viable candidate to be prime minister, he is literally the only labour leader candidate who i can even picture making a phone call, let alone leading a country.
  • @steve62482
    i hear corbyn speak and the humanity, the genuineness, the clarity of thought, comes across loud and clear. The other three…they're not Tories, thats unfair, but theres a sense of trying to hard, a certain stiffness, phoniness, soundbitey as hell.
  • Can't believe we as a country have gone back to Tory lite. Corbyn was the best PM we never had.
  • @e.t.2833
    Corbyn got all 47 of my votes. £3 for a vote really was a bargain.
  • Jeremy was brilliant on the cannabis question. Just said it how it was whilst all the others beat around the bush. This is what politics is longing for.
  • @bjpcorp
    No sensible, intelligent person could disagree with Jeremy Corbyn's policies. Liz, Andy and Yvette protect the establishment first, Jeremy puts the people first. Simple...
  • JC easily out shines others through his knowledge and honesty. No matter who is shouting at him his replies are calm and composed. We found a true leader who have some just principles and now it's our responsibility to fully back him.
  • @shacklock01
    I love how they all pretend jeremy is saying withrdraw from the world when what he's actually saying is 'Look we're not an empire anymore, plenty of other former imperial European countries have accepted the new world, dont posture like a big boy anymore and get things doing via multilateral agreement and working together as old, wise and respected nations.'
  • Good to see the future Prime Minister debating with Cooper, Kendall and Burnham.
  • @Alex-wh8xr
    I think people are a little harsh on Andy Burham, I think that he shows a bit of heart in this debate. Still doesn't and can't offer what Corbyn does. Most off-putting person in the room though is Adam Boulton he's like a giant smirking slug.
  • @jxxxshaw7061
    Great debate, bit sly of old Andy to steal Corbyn's policy on the railways, but then why am I surprised... Cooper got SERVED at the end and it was awesome!
  • @muntaman007
    I cringe whenever Cooper, Kendall and Burnham open their advertising firm-friendly mouths, ugh. And they dance around the subjects sooo much looking for the best safest middle-ground answer, it's pathetic.
  • All 3 are desperately trying to trip Jeremy up and back him into a corner INCLUDING the host who is meant to be unbiased, i can smell the fear :)
  • @stapolar
    Cooper tried to put one over Corbyn with her question (I reckon old Balls influenced it) and he left her red faced
  • Corbyn would've been a great prime minister, much better than starmer, though anything is better than the tories
