This is the BBC.

Hello, welcome to the Political Thinking podcast. I'm Nick Robinson.

Last week, we looked at Theresa May's announcement of the SNAP election.

This week has been much more about Jeremy Corbyn.

His attempts to get a positive policy agenda out to the public, the Tory's attempts to brand him as unelectable

and unacceptable. I'll be analysing what's been happening during the week and I've also been

speaking to prominent Corbyn supporter Paul Mason, an old colleague of course here at the BBC

and at Channel 4, now a columnist with The Guardian.

You know that old adage, you know, if you criticise the media, it's like a sea captain

criticising the sea.

Well, we think, for our kind of politics, that doesn't work.

We see the media as the enemy navy.

I have to say this day, I don't even expect fair treatment from the BBC.

We'll hear more from Paul later in the podcast.

What he thinks about the bias media?

What he thinks about me?

What Europe thinks about what is happening here as well.

First, though, the campaign this week.

Last week, I examined my interview with Theresa May

about why she called a snap election.

the polls. Let's have no foregone conclusions. Today, Jeremy Corbyn tells us what kind of Prime Minister he would be.
