At least Ed might get a chance to put his point over without the other side screaming at him as in PMQ's
Free TV license until the license fee is scrapped and the BBC have to raise revenue in other ways.

I wonder what other ways those could be? 
I'm bored now ... wheel out Ed

Dave, there are other people who work in the police force other than officers. Don't forget also that some forces are taking on many non paid specials.

To add in a little bit of knowledge, there is still a lot of wasted money, I do know this from experience. I wish I could provide examples but I can't on a public forum.
#thebattlefornumber10 is a scream! It's a good job I can't work out how to copy and paste tweets here or else I would have posted one about Kay Burley which would probably have got me banned 
Getting disabled people into work he says. The Tories closed or sold off all Remploy factories.

Why do we not have an independent organisation who could verify all of the statistics that politicians give out.
It seems crazy to me that in this day and age we can't provide stats for a whole host of important issues.

Kay has gone for the spray on dress tonight!

I used to work for a private training organisation...doing CV's and putting people on training and getting them into work....I'm now redundant...ironic eh?

Yes, that's an idea. I guess he's only got his minister's figures to go on, and we all know figures can be manipulated

I may make all politicians less likely to twist figures if they were presented with facts. Tonight we have been presented with lots of them.
When I have more money in my pocket I am paying off my mortgage quicker rather than spend it in other ways, so Ed you better hope that not everyone is like me or the revenue will not come in.
I've always said I wanted us to be in the EU but with more say
Woah!
I do prefer David M to Ed M.
Ed getting a tougher time. Hand picked audience?
