The worst political 'interview' ever

Actually more embarrassing, than Marr's performance on Sunday. Some of his facial expressions are scandalous and he's not listening to anything his interviewee is saying.

Interestingly, the one I thought he didn't do so well on was with John Snow, where I thought the questioning was far more sympathetic, which was a bit odd.

Kay Burley has done worse, to be fair...

Next time I hear or read the words of someone slagging off Corbyn, I'll struggle to get the image of Eamonn Holmes out of my mind. If you don't like or rate the Corb, you don't have to vote for him but be prepared for a life of the same ole same ole 2 faced politicians.

Simpleton, Corbyn did well to keep his cool but it's fair to say he's now had a lot of practice with interviewers who continuously try to keep him away from politics, as they can't cope with sensible answers.

EH is the simpleton? Just for clarification.

Turned round doubtful you can beat the wonderful performance from Natalie Bennett when being interviewed by Nick Ferrari

Excruciating. Only sky could possibly think that Holmes & Burley are political heavyweights. Another reminder for me, not that is was needed, as to why I have nothing to do with Sky.

What about the famous pre-Falklands one with the then Defence Secretary, John Nott?

I still like seeing the Bee Gees walk out on Clive Anderson. He is still a pretentitious pratt on R4.

6 peeps altogether in those 2 interviews and 3 are dead. The wrong 3!

I liked how agitated Holmes got when Corbyn said that leading a political party was not like managing a football team. EH must have been thinking 'If people start to realise that not every topic can be discussed using an analogy involving Alex Ferguson, my career will be over!'

My worst political interview ever has to be Newsnight - Paxman vs Chloe Smith, the 30-year old Economic Secretary to the Treasury Minister.

She entered Parliament as the youngest MP in the House and before that interview she was the youngest government minister at the time - a bright career beckoned. After the humiliating interview she was mauled in the media , removed from her post just over two months later and returned to the back benches. It was Paxman at his most ruthless.
