I find it odd that on one hand UKIP says people are the best judge of how to spend money, yet when it comes to education they seem to believe that people are not able to best determine for themselves whether or not they should go to university. If there is demand from the people for the "too many courses," who is UKIP to question that?

By taking part in this debate you're basically declaring defeat

How far has British democracy sunk?

why should we be looking for a deal​.they should be looking for a deal with us

Nuttall seems to be trying to copy Farage's style a bit. I think he needs to craft his own identity if he wants to gain the same popularity level. I am not a UKIP supporter but this programme was very much biased against him.

If teachers, doctors and nurses are going to food banks. (which I find very hard to believe.) They need a few lessons in home economics rather than a pay rise, taffy. The lowest of those professionals are on about £20,000 - £30,000 a year. Some of us have to make do on a even Less and keep away from food banks. . That's bollocks!!

I hope that Sturgeon has a debate with Scottish Labour and Conservative leaders. Nobody challenging her much at all on Scotlands systems, need something specifically for Scotland.

So basically Paul Nutall vs everyone else

It's a shame Theresa May couldn't attend. She was probably busy answering more important questions, such as 'Who puts the bins out?'

The "Also Rans"

If May can't be here to debate, I don't trust her negotiating Brexit.

If you don't like the deal, you can vote to stay in the EU? This isn't a vote on the deal, it's a way to get around the results, they don't agree with.

Economic and political cooperation with foreign powers _necessarily_ entails a loss of sovereignty. Nuttall advocates leaving the EU on the basis that it will enable the UK to trade more freely with third parties (India, China etc). However, I wonder if his delusions about 'national sovereignty' would not also preclude an effective bilateral agreement with these countries as it did with Europe.

Corbyn never declined the invitation - he pulled out after May declined the invitation because he didn`t want to appear opportunistic in HER absence

Can Tim Farron make a point without referencing his family or himself?

Paul Nuttall: "I don't buy the sun" but I have views that the Sun would propagate 24/7! Knobhead!

Watching them all yell like spoiled little children over Paul is so frustrating to watch. Had enough of that during the ref debates, some of these candidates need to show some respect and act their age.

These debates are about performance , the ability to stand up in front of an audience and perform ... the closest skill to a polished politician is a comedian, practiced, rehearsed and delivered. Teresa May doesn't have these skills so why would she fall into the trap. She's not that kind of performer but she is a politician with a heart and that is what we are voting for. So don't judge her for her stand up skills, judge her for her policies.

look how long it took for Canada to reach a free trade deal with the EU. About 10 years...don't kid yourselves that deals after a hard Brexit will simply happen in a few months.

Nuttall is the only one making sense the rest Sturgeon Scotland only, Woods Wales only, Farron wants to stay in the EU, Lucas wants to stay in, Nuttall is correct in controlled immigration you will still have over seas Doctors and nurses that's the point of CONTROLLED immigration. DFID must be also controlled How many hospital beds how many day care homes, better wages for people who look after the sick and frail, I know I'll be voting UKIP.

Another example of why these "leaders" debates are such a waste of time because they generate more heat than light, all posturing and posing. Why don't they actually get off their backsides and go and meet people and win the argument that way.

And UKIP were NOT involved with the £350 mill (actually, it's more than that. But that's another argument) Slogan. Nigel repeatedly pointed this out (on deaf ears, mainly)

Can anyone explain why no Northern Ireland parties are ever represented? Surely the DUP should have been represented? They have the 4th most seats in the UK, and if Plaid Cymru have a place, then why don't they?

Not a single leader was on stage.

the Wales party who's name is can't spell's opening speach was just LOOK HOW BAD TERESA MAY IS wait what are we doing it dunno but it's gotta be better than them

everybody there seemed to be accepting second best before they had even began , there isn't a single party who wants to look at the LONG TERM SOLUTION, all these parties do is look for the short term fix, for example tim farron said that you need migrant workers to build homes? there are 1.6 million unemployed in this country, why can't we look to them and fix the long term problem ? we actually need a party who look to the long term and solve the economic problems we have in this country, and I assure you if you look at it , NONE OF THEM EVER DO !

Oh Theresa lol 😂 it didn’t go well for you

The press are giving the Tories an unbelievably easy time; the Tories haven't costed any of their proposals, and the press should be nailing them for it -instead they're letting them off scot-free

What a waste of a programme. Where are the 2 candidates that really matter in this election?

Tim Farron last played a part on Thunderbirds. They did a good job hiding his strings. Lian Woods stated Australia had a bigger immigration than the UK. Tha's because Australia needs what they need but, still operate a points system. She always was, as thick as two short planks. Caroline Lucas lives on cloud nine and wants to do a deal Kim Yun Chun, or, whatever his name is, over Nuclear weapons. Good luck with that. Sturgeon speaks with fork tongue as usual. At least Nuttall appears to speak with common sense.

May is disintegrating more and more every day, all she can do is read from an auto-cue. She has an appalling record as PM and Corbyn would destroy her in a debate.

I cannot watch Farron and Sturgeon for very long. We should ensure we give Wales the same amount of money per head of population as we do to Scotland under the Barnet formula. Wales supported Brexit and yet we pander to Wee nippy because she shouts the loudest.

Would have preferred Farage than Nutter.

32:18 Paul's face at Tim's lies. Current Staffing levels in the NHS, from the EU. He says 1/4 - 25% Across the UK, EU immigrants make up 10% of registered doctors and 4% of registered nurses. Much more of our NHS staff, are made up from OUTSIDE the EU. Tim is also incorrect about our trade with the EU. He says half of our trade is with the EU. Around 17 years ago (2000's), 55% of our trade WAS done with the EU. Since then, it has steadily DECREASED to 43%. What would it be like in another 15 years? And the EU's trade with the rest of the world has steadily DECREASED with the rest of the world, too.

Skilled migrants, as been said time and again, would be welcome in the UK. And that would count for nurses and doctors. Certainly, you'd be welcomed into Aus/NZ with those skills.
