"Language matters"

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...
