Danny Boyle on Jeremy Corbyn

Danny Boyle discusses Jeremy Corbyn and why the UK is a progressive nation, in an exclusive interview with HuffPost Live.

“We are a progressive nation in our hearts and a magnificent one. And I tried to show that in the opening of the Olympic games."

“It is important that you are electable, because otherwise there’s a lot done in that five year gap that people are damaged, vulnerable people who it’s our duty to look after."

Do you think he’s electable'

“He’s a very admirable MP, he really is. And whether he can actually persuade the country to follow him is going to be tough. He’s got a tough job there.

“What we have to make sure is that the Labour party, such a huge part of the spirit of our modern nation, is electable muscle.”
