Nick Robinson isn't happy. (I imagine the tweet being sent with a loud tut):
As several people are reminding him on Twitter though, Jeremy Corbyn only make the 'fake news' point after a BBC interviewer posed a question to him framed in terms of 'fake news'. So perhaps he should be also be addressing his BBC colleague?
Charlie Stayt: Your own personal circumstances...I'm aware of the issue of fake news at the moment.Jeremy Corbyn: There is a lot of it about!Charlie Stayt: Well, there's a story going about that you have set a date for when you are going to quit as Labour leader.Jeremy Corbyn: That's in the 'Imadeitupyesterday.com'.Charlie Stayt: So absolutely no truth in that?Jeremy Corbyn: Absolute nonsense.Charlie Stayt: So your future as Labour leader is absolutely intact? You've not considered for a moment whether you as leader are damaging the party's chances...Jeremy Corbyn: Look, I'm really surprised the BBC is reporting fake news. There is no news!Charlie Stayt: Well, I'm...what I'd like...(indecipherable)...to give you the opportunity to say...(indecipherable)...Jeremy Corbyn: I was elected leader of the party, I am proud to lead the party...
