  2. Media should 'draw boundaries' on intrusionpublished at 19:42 British Summer Time 30 May 2017

    BBC One

    Jeremy Corbyn opted to appear on the One Show on his own without his wife Laura Alvarez.

    He says he accepts there will be a degree of interest in him because he is in public life - but says that interest should not extend to members of people's families in such circumstances.

    "Intrusion in my life is not nice but I am there and I am an elected politician. And it goes with the territory you might say.

    "But with family, children, it's just not right and not fair. And I just wish some of our media would draw some boundaries.

    Jeremy Corbyn's asked about his love of manhole covers and replies: "Don't you?"

    He also says it's easier to keep control of ten-year-olds than the parliamentary Labour Party.

    Moving on to his allotment, he says it's an "open space, a chance to grow things - there's something magic about growing your own beans".

    He then presents the One Show with a jar of his own jam.

  5. Corbyn: 'Not academically successful'published at 19:25 British Summer Time 30 May 2017

    BBC One

    Next it was Mr Corbyn's school days. We hear that he went to a private prep school and then a grammar school. But was it true, he was asked, that he left the latter with only two 'E's at A-Level?

    "I have the certificate," he replies. "I was not an academically successful pupil".

    He says his mother was "an ever-generous lady" who said, "they probably couldn't read your writing".

    He said he liked history but, in the exam, probably gave an overly long answer to one question which he liked and ignored the other questions.

  6. Corbyn: My attitudes haven't changedpublished at 19:20 British Summer Time 30 May 2017

    BBC One

    Asked about changes in his life, Jeremy Corbyn tells the One Show: "My basic attitudes and principles are pretty much as they've always been."

    But he observes people get "less judgemental" as they get older.

    While his parents, who met at an event opposing Spanish fascism, were influential on him they didn't "force" their views on him.

    Radio 4 PM

    The SNP's Patrick Grady has said "it is not unreasonable to ask for the Scottish government to be represented" in Brexit negotiations.

    Mr Grady said the party was asking for a seat at the table, saying: "The whole point of voting for SNP members of parliament in this election is to make sure that Scotland's voice is heard."

    Speaking as the party's manifesto was launched, Mr Gradyacknowledged that "more work needs to be done" on education and said the party was providing "money directly to head teachers in order to invest in the needs of their specific schools".

  14. 'Nerves jangling' 10 days from electionpublished at 18:46 British Summer Time 30 May 2017

    Laura Kuenssberg
    BBC political editor

    Reflecting on the personalised nature of criticism by Theresa May of Jeremy Corbyn, the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg that it was possible to faintly detect the "jangling of nerves" 10 days out from the 8 June election.

    The Tories, she said, had decided it was "no time for flowery language".

    Quote Message

    "It is not a time for appeals to the electorate about elegant philosophies" or more arguments about public services. This is a time... to go after what they see is a central question - who do voters trust to take the country through the very difficult, very complicated process of leaving the EU?

    Quote Message

    And the Tories will no doubt use the kind of confusion we saw from Jeremy Corbyn over childcare as the kind of evidence to suggest again and again that he is just not up to the job.

    Quote Message

    In the last few days we're seeing the polls tightening a bit. There is a new scepticism on the doorsteps towards Theresa May. But I think now, with this time to go, they are returning to their core argument.

    Quote Message

    And I think the Tories will not budge from it. It might not be elegant. They hope it will be effective. It's not really been the kind of campaign where the party is trying to inspire the voters but it's what they hope will see them through."

  15. May's naked Corbyn comments 'bizarre' says Raynerpublished at 18:42 British Summer Time 30 May 2017

    Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner has been responding to Theresa May's comments that Jeremy Corbyn's position on Brexit would leave him "alone and naked" in the Brexit negotiations.

    “I’ve never seen Jeremy Corbyn naked in any discussion to be quite honest with you," she says.

    "It’s a bizarre conversation for her (the prime minister) to put forward.

    "Jeremy Corbyn’s been quite clear. He will make sure Britain is put first. He will negotiate strongly with Europe. And he will make sure that he puts British workers and British jobs and our economy first.”

    Theresa May has defended herself over remarks she made today about Jeremy Corbyn not being able to negotiate for Britain in future Brexit talks.

    At a campaign event this afternoon Mrs May had said Mr Corbyn's policies and stance would leave him "alone and naked" in the negotiating chamber of the EU, adding: "I know that's an image that doesn't bear thinking about."

    She was later questioned about her use of the language in an interview tonight for Channel 5 News. Political editor Andy Bell asked Mrs May whether - had the remarks been made about her - she would find them acceptable and if it showed that she was becoming "desperate".

    The Prime Minister replied: "No. What this shows is that this is the most crucial election this country has faced in my lifetime".
