I think he's doing fairly well so far, if I was a Corbyn supporter I'd have seen almost nothing here to give me any concerns.

People who meet him seem to warm to him, I don't find him particularly charismatic but he comes across as a decent enough bloke.

I think these live events will do him more good than it will May.

No point Paxman going down the monarchy route

[Cobnapint]

Paco is poor. Neil would be better.

[petemurphy]

ooh hes woken up now

Nail and head here. I doubt she's going to come across as likeable, and genuine as he's managing to here.

[l354uge]

Strange he's going at him about "core beliefs" when May supported remain?

[petemurphy]

paxman is dreadful

Not sure why he's pressing a point which clearly has no strict answer

Correct.

And the way Paxman is going after him and repeating points will play to his strengths.

[covmutley]

Paxman trying to make him look like a poor leader, but I suspect the audience like a politics where people listen to others before deciding their party manifesto

[RichB]

Paxman is a rather irritating actually

[rich85uk]

Not a Corbyn or Labour fan but christ Paxman STFU and let him finish a sentence

[Freypal]

I'd have liked some questions on their manifesto costing which have been shown to be optimistic at best.

And grill him on his ludicrous view on bonds vs borrowing.

Neil was much better.

I agree; paxman was rookie-esque. Strange I thought...

[anonymous-user]

Corbyn will be happy with that, I thought he did quite well really.

[covmutley]

I'm getting a bit worried. All the traction seems to be with Corbyn. Many of his policies are attractive - until you question how they will be funded.

Why is he not getting exposed for this? All the attacks so far just seem to make him look stronger - a man who will listen to others, who wants peace, who doesn't want to go to war etc

[djdest]

I've never been a fan of Paxman, it's as if he's trying too hard to aggressive all the time.
I know in the past he was a feared interviewer, but now it seems he's trying too hard to keep up the image more than anything

Paxo did Corbyn a big favour tonight, by being a bigger tt than he was.

He might have been the cutting political inquisitor 15 years ago on Newsnight, but he's coming across as a clueless ratty old man out for an argument now.

He needs to retire gracefully.

May looks nervous.
