Election debate: reaction and analysis after Jeremy Corbyn and party leaders spar – as it happened

Rudd says the government has protected pensioners.

Corbyn and Robertson both challenge her to say they will protect the triple lock.

Rudd says they should read the manifesto.

Q: How can we trust you on public services? Where will the money come from?

Lucas says we could scrap Trident.

Husain turns to Rudd, and says there were no costings in the Conservative manifesto.

She says people should judge the Tories on their record.

This generates quite a lot of laughter from the audience.

Rudd turns to Brexit, and says Jeremy Corbyn would not deliver.

Corbyn says the Tory government has made choices: schools are overcrowded, hospitals are underfunded and students are saddled with debt.

Husain asks him if he is sure his plans add up. Only yesterday he could not remember the figures.

Corbyn says getting rid of tuition fees would cost £11bn. That would be money well spent.

Robertson says this debate shames us all.

There is no one watching, from Cornwall to Caithness, who does not understand the contribution of immigrants. Demonising them shames us all.

He says Scotland’s problem has been emigration, not immigration.

Lucas says people like Nuttall and their “hate-filled rhetoric” are trying to persuade people that problems with the NHS are due to immigrants. They are not. They are due to under-investment, he says.

Corbyn says there has to be managed migration. We should no longer allow people to bring in people to undermine wages.

Robertson accuses Labour of aping Ukip. We should stay in the single market, he says.

Corbyn asks Robertson if he did not hear the result of the referendum.

Farron says Labour did not vote for the Lib Dem amendment that would have allowed EU citizens to stay in the EU.

Rudd says the government must act in the interests of all Britons, including those abroad.

Rudd says all this squabbling make her realise how chaotic a coalition would be.

Wood says she is in coalition with Ukip.

Lucas says Rudd was here a year ago saying we should stay in the EU. Will you get Boris Johnson to drive you home, she asks.

Q: When we leave the EU, how can we ensure that we protect living standards and have people with the right skills?

Nuttall calls for an Australian-style points system.

Farron says last week a middle-aged Asian man was abused on his way home from work. He had just finished 50 hours saving lives after the Manchester attack. He was a doctor.

That is what happens when you demonise immigrants.

He says May’s immigration target is “barmy”. It is a policy “written to appease Ukip”, he says.

Rudd says we must have an immigration policy we can control. She says although we will lower immigration, we will still attract the brightest and the best.

Husain asks Corbyn if he will reduce immigration.

Corbyn says all EU nationals must be allowed to stay.

Husain asks him to answer the question.

Corbyn says we would have a fair system.

Q: What is fair?

Fair is when people come here if they have a job, says Corbyn.

Rudd says she wants to take on Corbyn’s “fantasy economics”.

Nuttall criticises Labour for wanting to put up corporation tax.

Corbyn says he is talking complete nonsense. He says the government cut it. Labour is only returning it towards the level it was.

He asks Nuttall if he has been to food banks, if he has seen poverty.

His barb is aimed at Nuttall, but Rudd tries to answer.

Husain intervenes. She asks him how Labour’s plans would work.

Corbyn says the current system is not working. We cannot go on giving money away to the very rich. I say turn it round, he says.
