what a pointless question
Wierd audience, lots of fat jowly suited men
Alley-oop'd him for a great last response
feck abolishing all uni fees. Should only abolish fees for degrees that are of benefit for the country, whilst piss poor degrees which are useless can be paid for by the student.
Surprised no one's asked him his view on the IRA.
Fair answer on abolishing tuition fees (though I still disagree)
How do we definitively determine what degrees are useful and what ones aren't though?
How does scraping tuition fees = investing in education? Investing in education would mean more teachers, schools, education facilities etc. What a complete waste of money scrapping tuition fees would be.
No it was bollocks.
Labour are also promising those things. And importantly, early education which is the most impactful thing you can do to help children.
It represents a direct investments in students.
What prevented her reducing the immigration from outside the EU then, you going to blame the EU for that as well??
What does it matter to the EU if she has one seat or 1000 seats?
Do you think she's not going to wilt when discussing with the EU? It's no good flustering about and saying soundbites when you're having negotiations.
I don't agree with him, but do think it's a fair point.
Investing means putting money into something
University is a form of education
Getting rid of tuition fees involves putting money into universities
He's recovered well since that stumble with the nuclear questions, but the damage has been done and that's what the press will focus on.
I dont think totally scrapping tuition fees is the answer but rather reducing it significantly so that we dont have to pay so much towards it while still maintaining a balance of of money being used elsewhere such as the state system.
Just curious, the likelihood of Corbyn staying on if Labour loses?
All of you in here pretending not to understand the nuclear question? It's quite ridiculous that Corbin wouldn't say that he would use it. Whether he uses it or not is not the issue but basically admitting he wouldn't, even in the event of an initial strike against us, is suicidal given just how insane some countries with nuclear capabilities are.
On the topic of EU migration, he isn't committing to a meaningful cut in numbers, the key factor behind the Brexit vote for many leave voters.

Well for a start the country is short of doctors, nurses, engineers, scientists so those sort of degrees should be a start. But those like peace studies and fine art appreciation no chance.
"CORBYN WON'T NUKE IRAN"
Feck me, it's no wonder this country is up the shitter.

Probably depends how much he loses by.
I have to admit, as a student paying £9000 a year on course fees... I don't really see the problem with the system as it is. It's no win no fee.
Like Michael said above, it's also direct investment into students.
I like the fact that he won't use them. If someone nukes us, we've already lost.
Think May will come away happier. Corbyn had a more difficult time up there, though mainly on issues I don't really care about. General public will obviously see things differently to me.
He did well except the nuclear question.
May did alright too.
May did alright too.
The problem with determining what is "useful" and what isn't though can often depend on a certain ideological slant. And what's useful or gains you employability varies as well...the economy is constantly changing/growing, and what is in demand in 2017 may no longer be perceived as useful in a generation or two. I agree a lot of people may end up going to uni for the sake of it, but actually agreeing on what's useful and what isn't can be tricky.
You really think thats one of the reasons
By admitting he won't use them, you're taking away the deterrent to those who would happily nuke us in an instant. Surely, surely you can see that?
Maw will win. The general public seem quite clear that they do not agree with Corbyn.
All I know is, I have NEVER agreed with a politician than I did with Corbyn tonight. Principled, fair, and inspiring. I hope that his movement continues past this election.

The trick is making your enemies think you'd use them though.
So he'll get criticised for not willing to commit to use nuclear weapons which would result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people & impact millions more. What a fecking world we live in!
Shame that the man aspiring to lead our country can't see this blinding obvious tactic.
Exactly, look at the Cold War, if America had no nuclear weapons their major bargaining chip would be gone. Who knows what wouldve happened next.
Free education should be provided for those who want it. Lots of people who go to uni just go to cut loose and have no real idea what they want to do (like myself). Should be means tested and have regular student evaluations to continue to receive it
I know a lot of people perfectly capable of going to university who didn't because they saw the fees as a barrier. I personally see the repayment system as largely fine, so it didn't affect my decision. Everyone's different. You've got to accept that people often make decisions that stray away from what others see as logical.
