What is very telling is your inability to keep quiet for 30 seconds to allow anybody to answer a question.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Morgan afterwards said it was &#8220;staggering&#8221; that the ex-Labour leader, who currently sits as an independent MP following an antisemitism row, did not give clear answers to his two questions.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;I repeatedly asked Jeremy Corbyn if he thought Hamas was a terrorist group and whether they should stay in power in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He repeatedly refused to answer either question.
