Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn face tough questions on live TV

The studio audience has been selected for balance.

The reference by Vaz, who is seeking re-election as MP for Leicester East, to Corbyn’s honorary status as the “fifth black MP” recalled the 1987 general election when he, Diane Abbott, Paul Boateng and the late Bernie Grant won seats in the Commons.

The Labour leader was in Scotland’s biggest city on Sunday evening with two weeks to go until voters in the United Kingdom go to the polls, and he urged hundreds of activists to make the most of the “ten days left to achieve our hopes and dreams”.

Most British people don’t pay much attention to politics outsider of election time.

However, Lavery said: “People don’t want austerity, people have had enough of cuts”. There is a good reason for that.

In recent polling, the Tories, who have an approval rating of between 43% and 46%, are ahead of Labour, who are polling at 32% to 36%.

The Labour party have posted a video today (29 May) featuring AJ Tracey in his hometown, London’s Ladbroke Grove, explaining why he’ll be voting for the party for the UK’s general election on 8 June.

Pressed further by Paxman if that means she would be ready to cut short the lingering talks and part with the European Union without any agreement, the prime minister reiterated that the United Kingdom “will be there to negotiate the right deal but…” You need to have something to offer.

The live debate will be broadcast on TV but you can also watch it live on Sky News via YouTube.

Answering questions from an audience of voters on the Sky News/Channel 4 programme The Battle For Number 10, the Labour leader dismissed claims from his opponents that he would be soft on terror.

Instead, he showed he has his finger on the pulse of the British electorate and began asking Corbyn about the Falklands War and the monarchy.

Questions that might have floored other politicians seemed to bounce straight off as he kept his composure throughout.

Asked whether this indicated that voters should not trust Labour with their money, he answered: “Not at all”. It was a strong, mature, considered performance.

Theresa May was heckled and laughed at by some audience members.

The Labour leader said he did not believe it had been a “plot” but that then prime minister Margaret Thatcher had been exploiting the situation.

And the PM said Mr Corbyn’s decision to rule out walking out of Brexit talks without a deal “means being willing to accept any deal, however bad, signing up to any bill, however vast, accepting any terms, however unreasonable”.

May was forced to defend her social care reforms and the government’s U-turn on various policies during the Battle for Number 10 show.

One thing’s for sure, had the pair gone head-to-head it was likely to have made interesting viewing.

May has been the clear favorite, but with Labour catching up, one of them will take up residence in Downing Street on June 9. At worst, May came off a poor second.
