Audience member asks 'How can we vote for you as PM if you have supported the IRA or Hamas', Corbyn denies ever supporting them but says he talked to them as part of the peace process
He didn't say that. He said that he talked to representatives of the Republican movement. Different.
I am not sure the issue matters anywhere near as much as the Tories hope it would but on a basic point of accuracy he is lying through his back teeth.
I've said for ages it is priced in, older voters remember it, but they generally vote Tory.
Younger voters have seen the likes of Martin McGuinness meet The Queen, so it's not an issue.
People just don't believe Jezza has it in him to be cheerleading terrorists on. It just goes against their idea of him as a cuddly harmless granddad.
Where he's much more vulnerable is the idea that he's naive -- that he thinks we can all just hug it out and then terrorists or enemy states won't want to do bad things anymore. Which is why Trident is so potentially damaging.
Corbyn catastrophic on Nuclear Weapons, if he stood for decommissioning trident that would be defensible but incurring all the cost and not being prepared to use it is the worst of all worlds
lol it's not a deterrent if the enemy knows you will never use it.
Trident is the biggest waste of public money. £70bn-£100bn depending on who you listen too. The fact that 51% of the population apparently support it is shows blackmail works.
Well why didn't the Labour mainfesto vow to scrap it then. With a nuclear defense system you're a target and whoever is in charge needs to be prepared to use it.
200 nations do not have nuclear weapons. Have they been annihilated ? You are right. We could be a target because we have nuclear weapons.
I wonder if Japan would have been targeted had they had nuclear weapons.
@JGForsyth: Corbyn just said that businesses were doing well because of the corporation tax cuts. But that's the point--leads to more tax revenue & jobs
Rightwingers seriously claim that lowering tax rates means you get more tax revenue, yet they accuse the Left of lacking arithmetical skills.
Lowering Corporation Tax led to a much wider tax base with more companies establishing themselves in the UK and led to a very big increase in the tax take. There is a good article in the FT on it. The actual increase in CT in 2016 24% but they only ascribe about half of that to the decrease in the rate.
Audience member asks 'How can we vote for you as PM if you have supported the IRA or Hamas', Corbyn denies ever supporting them but says he talked to them as part of the peace process
I am sure I read articles saying he played no part in the peace process.
It's a sick joke to suggest he was involved in peace process.
John Owls is probably screaming "liar liar" at him.
If we've got them, you need to be prepared to use them. If we're not prepared to use them - dump from the manifesto. Corbyn's stance is a nonsense.

Submarine launched missiles are designed to hide retaliation in the ocean. They woiuld only be used when our Islands were already a smouldering ruin. Turning Chelyabinsk into a smoking ruin would not improve things.
Most countries in Europe and the remainder of the world do not need nuclear submarine s to defend themselves.
Indeed, only us, Russia and the Yanks have them. Even other nuclear countries do not.

I don't believe in trickle down economics, but Corbyn cannot seriously pay for every free owl by only raising corporation tax and 'tax on the rich.'
Post-2008 neither the right nor the left have the answers on the economy.
Audience member asks 'How can we vote for you as PM if you have supported the IRA or Hamas', Corbyn denies ever supporting them but says he talked to them as part of the peace process
My only hope is that, because the Tories and the media cried wolf so much over the past week with that IRA nonsense, the public will be tuning out everything they hear about Corbyn on security/defence, and don't even listen to the mess he made of the Trident question.
Point of order boys and girls. What you and I think isn't always what normal punters think.
My partner not impressed by either. Says neither are suited to be PM, May because she seems incompetent and Corbyn because he can't keep the country safe. Would abstain on the night (not that she can vote anyway).
Audience member asks 'How can we vote for you as PM if you have supported the IRA or Hamas', Corbyn denies ever supporting them but says he talked to them as part of the peace process
But he rewrites history and is getting away with it but when the alternative is no better with no prospect for the future then maybe it's time to change the voting system to allow a wider view of alternatives
He's just lost the election by no first use of nuclear weapons, it's not credible that you would only retaliate once we had been attacked.
He would not use them at all - well, maybe on the Americans......
Triple the left wingery of this labour manifesto (and the borrowing) and that is what you woukd get under Corbyn.
Trident is about our place in the world. Is it serious that we give it up (and we would under Corbyn) while France keeps their missiles? Corbyn actually WANTS Britain to be diminished in thecworld. He WANTS the West weakened. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a total brsinless idiot.
"However, many of the seats seeing the largest rises are already safe, including the student-heavy Leeds Central, Sheffield Central, Manchester Central and Liverpool Riverside, which have added a combined 22,663 voters since the 2015 election.
This may fuel concerns that Labour's young vote is mostly concentrated in existing safe Labour seats."

Does having the election when students are dispersed back around to their home towns, not centred in the university cities make a significant difference to how the Corbyn support will vote?

This is going to be big issue on the broadcast media all tomorrow and in the sundays. His failure on nuclear is a big moment

I am sure I read articles saying he played no part in the peace process.
He actually opposed the Anglo-Irish Agreement which was one of the important stepping stones to the Good Friday Agreement. He opposed peace on any terms except a unified Ireland.
The Good Friday Agreement did not result in a unified Ireland yet Corbyn supported it, so the last part of your comment cannot be true. Corbyn did oppose the Anglo-Irish Agreement, as did many unionists and some Conservatives. Really this is only an issue because early on, some Tories muddled up the two agreements and believed Corbyn voted against the GFA.

Exactly this. Tridrnt isn't a first strike weapon. Or a second strike weapon. It's a NO strike weapon. We need to defend ourselves in an unstable world. A big navy might be a start, but as Jeremy pointed out the Tories have cut it to barely a coastal force
That is not what he said. He described the Holocaust as the biggest stain on human history.
There is a difference between words and actions.
Questions and answers are about words.
The line that Ken Livingstone is anti-Semitic is made-up, dishonest, disingenuous garbage and hardly anybody gives a crap about it.
So, just to be clear, you say both that the claim that Livingstone is anti-semitic is unfounded (even though his own party suspended him for it), and that hardly anybody cares anyway. Is that because nobody cares about racism, or because anti-semitism is markedly less serious than other forms of racism, or for some other reason?
Most realise the allegations are made by specious liars who are themselves racist.
May comes across as quite honest and saying it as it is on BBC news clips even what she says is not always popular eg she will invest more in the NHS but there is 'no magic money tree'
As a Lancastrian by birth, it is unusual for me to be thinking so kindly of the good folk of Yorkshire as I am just at the mo. Toby Young's take:
"Fears that this would be the usual, predominantly left-wing Question Time audience proved to be unfounded. Is that because it was broadcast from Yorkshire, where more jobs were created last year than in the whole of France? To be fair, there are always Tories in the QT audience, but they usually get drowned out by the more outspoken, virtue-signalling lefties. Not this time."
The catch is, that was Toby Young on 30 April 2015. QT and Yorkshire save the day again.
On defence, neither party are great. Corbyn's stance on Trident is problematic, but the Tories have been cutting defence during their seven years in government.

Trident is nothing but a giant military industrial complex psychological blackmail. You do not need trident to maintain nuclear capability.
The rest of the world also goes to sleep at night without having trident to defend them.

Don't think it'll be that big. Don't reckon it'll have swayed many voters who are already going to Labour, but it will have killed off any slight chance of some extra floaters switching to us, as it reminded people what they distrust about Corbyn the most.
Laura K says very clearly that Corbyn will not push the button (without any caveat - ie she didn't say no first use).
Not helpful for Corbyn.
The Nuclear weapons issue is the one that I have been agonising over for weeks between not voting and voting Tory. I will definitely vote Tory now I know Corbyn is a surrender monkey defeatist on defence.

Where he's much more vulnerable is the idea that he's naive -- that he thinks we can all just hug it out and then terrorists or enemy states won't want to do bad things anymore. Which is why Trident is so potentially damaging.

I would go for
May 5/10
Corbyn 3/10
Data available for 100 seats
7 seats - up more than 5%
13 seats - up between 3% and 5%
62 seats - up between 0% and 3%
18 seats - down
If these seats are representative, this looks good for Con - no sign of any widespread significant increase in the electorate.
NB. Electorate should rise a bit anyway just to stand still with ageing population.

Toby Young's take:
"Fears that this would be the usual, predominantly left-wing Question Time audience proved to be unfounded. Is that because it was broadcast from Yorkshire, where more jobs were created last year than in the whole of France?
To be fair, there are always Tories in the QT audience, but they usually get drowned out by the more outspoken, virtue-signalling lefties. Not this time."
The catch is, that was Toby Young on 30 April 2015. QT and Yorkshire save the day again.
