Question 2 - Business
Q: I run a small business. Will your plans create problems for me?
Corbyn asks the man how small is micro-business is. The man says he employs five people, but hopes to grow. Let’s hope it does, Corbyn says.
Corbyn says all his plans are costed. Labour will put up corporation tax. But he thinks it’s worth it, so young people can go to university without debt, and so teachers don’t have to collect money from parents at the school gate.
One really odd thing about these "debates". Corbyn is actually a more polished performed than May. Less hesitant, fewer "...er's...".

Corbyn needlessly evasive on the question of having a deal with Nicola Sturgeon, but then saves the day by literally screaming "NO DEALS".
— Jamie Ross (@JamieRoss7) June 2, 2017
Q: Will you rule out a deal with [SNP leader] Nicola Sturgeon?
Corbyn says he is not doing deals. He wants a majority government.
Corbyn fans in audience are more noisily enthusiastic - just like in 50:50 audiences with Leave and Remain last year

Q: What does leaving the EU mean to you?
Corbyn says it means leaving the treaties, and the EU no longer having an independent authority over the UK.
Threatening the UK will not work.
Q: Do you want to remain in the single market?
Corbyn says his aim is tariff-free access.
Question 1 to Jeremy Corbyn - Brexit
Jeremy Corbyn is here.
Q: Why should the British public trust you and your team to negotiate Brexit?
Corbyn starts by saying it is a shame that the PM won’t debate him.
He says Labour would negotiate market access. We have a great team, he says. He says Keir Starmer [the shadow Brexit secretary] is one of the best lawyers in the country. He can trust Starmer more than some others doing the negotiating.
Q: Barry Gardiner said on Question Time last night we would be poorer when we left.
Corbyn says he does not think that.
Question 6 - Trump and climate change
Q: Why haven’t you signed the letter protesting about his decision to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement?
Because I told him so myself, May, says. She says she spoke to him last night.
Q: Wouldn’t it have been a good decision to join with France, Germany and Italy?
May says she takes independent decisions.
And that is the end of that part of the programme.
TMay is wrong. The Tories are NOT putting more money into schools. IFS projects that there will be a 6.9% fall in per pupil spending.#BBCQT
