General Election June 2017

from the Guardian's rolling coverage:

"Corbyn said:

It is totally and absolutely, completely unacceptable for anyone to
throw abuse at anyone else. Journalists do ask difficult questions and
journalists do do a job that does require asking difficult questions
sometimes in difficult circumstances.

If you don’t like what a reporter says or asks me, or anybody else,
understand the question they’re asking. We will all do our best to
answer those questions, but under no circumstances whatsoever should
anyone throw personal abuse at anyone else, because they are doing the
job that they have been employed to do and I will not tolerate it
under any circumstances.

He also claimed he did not mind people asking him difficult questions.

There isn’t such a thing as being unfair to politicians. If you put
yourself up for elected office in public life you are subject to
permanent scrutiny.

I never get upset by these things. Never be so high and mighty that
you can’t listen to everybody else and make sure that you understand
the motives of the majority of our people and the kind of society that
we want to live in."
