The CBBC channel has published an interview by Junior Bake-off winner Nikki Lilly with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, in which she quizzes him about his school days, childhood pets, jam-making, spud preferences – and why he’s not allowed out in his tracksuit any more – before feeding him some of her scones. With a helping of Jez’s home-made jam, of course:
Ms Lilly also interviewed Theresa May last month. To see the contrast between Corbyn’s easy humanity and the Maybot’s performance, watch that interview here.

Brilliant! What a lovely interview.
Well done Nikki.
Lovely!
Corbyn is very comfortable when communicating with people. I loved him sharing Nikki’s scones and eating them with his home made jam. His humanity and empathy are two of many reasons why #IStandByJeremyCorbyn.
When May tries to fake empathy you can see the cogs whirring as she calculates every word and facial expression – there are noticeable delays of a few milliseconds in her ‘reactions’ as she searches for the response a strong-and-stable-yet-caring human being would make.
There might be an actual person behind that contrived, shallow facade but I suspect that after so long she daren’t even let her mirror see anything but the mask.
