Best response to the nuke question is calling it out as irrelevant because the entire world would have gone to poo poo by then rather than humming and harring over it.

^^^Yes but 'We're already dead' isn't satisfying. It's true but it won't work as a campaign point. Nuclear deterrent is only excusable because you can hide behind having it means you never have to use it (although May has broken that and said she'd love to nuke someone).

This is hope. At least it doesn't seem like the nuke question hurt him.

Broadcasters are under election obligations at the moment, which broadly means every time they show Corbyn stumbling over nukes they have to show May getting barracked by a nurse. More people care about nurses than nukes, and most (not all) of the highlights of Jeremy talking about nukes don't sound too bad. It was the section as a whole that was most embarrassing.

3 was a shite game but that is one of the most beautiful eleven seconds of audiovisual media ever filmed.

Also that QT was a proper hit piece, but it's a bit shocking Jezza didn't have a better answer lined up, he had to know bollocks about the Ra and nukes and Hamas was liable to come up. I mean I'm easily one of the most pro-nuke people ITT but a bunch of wankers who just want to look dead 'ard to the foreigners, they shouldn't be allowed the loving vote. None of them have the first conception of how nuclear weapons policy is formulated, how it is intended to operate in the event of war (nuclear or not), or even any of the arguments of their own side because they're that loving ignorant and just want to glass the Kaaba.

What is the idea behind Corbyn dodging basic questions about whether the IRA engaged in terrorism? Is it a peace-process thing? Does he think that saying something like "Yes, they killed many people, and that is wrong and indefensible and I have always deplored it" would destabilise the situation?

He's a shut-in who thinks fireworks are terrorist attacks. He eats books.

He looks like he's about to burst into tears because he exists in a carefully created bubble of terror. Why you'd do that to yourself I don't know, but it seems to have been lucrative.

Corbyn has always said killing people is wrong though? Like whatever criticisms you can make of the man 'violence bad' is something he is pretty consistent on.

Edit: Yeah the problem seems to be Corbyn says "all violence is bad" when what people want to hear is "those other people being violent is bad but our violence is good and just and also didn't happen".

Newsnight highlights were actually not too bad. They are going hard on May for quoting 'magic money tree' at a nurse, and the individual clips of Corbyn responding to nukechat don't seem bad by comparison.

It's a missed opportunity and a disappointment. We just have to hope Labour can continue the momentum they have built up in other ways because they didn't manage it tonight.

What Labour needs now is for this weekend's polls to be very good and show another great week of gains. That would probably overshadow the virtually tied debate and hopefully give them back the momentum.
