Sun's live debate updates:
BBC Election Debate 2017 live updates – Jeremy Corbyn slammed by Amber Rudd for ‘chilling’ record of voting AGAINST anti-terror laws
Weird. I thought he hit back saying May also opposed anti-terror legislation but there doesn't seem to be any mention of that so guess it didn't happen.
Bake off, that was amazing.Good showing by Corbyn, Lucas, Robertson, and at times Farron. Wood was weak, Rudd looked like an evil ventriloquists dummy and Nuttal just confirmed he's a massive cnut.
I missed bits of that but, from what I saw/heard, I have to say I was disappointed that Corbyn didn't do better. Not really his format. Some difficult questions can't adequately be answered in brief. Lucas and Robertson did better, imo. Farron did surprisingly well.
yeah i tend to agree, but all depends on the veiwing figures and the way its spun.Farron
If people tuned out early becuase the squabbling was annoying then May will do well out of this, if people stuck it out the last 5 mins of lets lay into may will do her some harm.
to be honest it probably hasn't made much difference at all
Would rather him talk it down than run it down like the evil cnuts in power now.
Sorry Damien, this fact didn't make it through the 'they're ditching Leveson 2' filter.
Yeah I've been calling her rotten for missing it and laughing along with the jibes but she knew full well it'd be less damaging this way for any incumbent, but particularly for her as she's not got half Cameron's presentability.
he did, i thought he defintly game out on top in that exchange..... don't you love spin
He really should have brought the Leveson 2 up and explained to the public why the media is so intent on getting May elected. Maybe he did I missed half of it.
Emily Thornberry battering Damien Green just now was good fun too.
I called the Tories going last as soon as she said 'random' draw. I have honestly lost faith in the BBC during this election. What a fecking joke. Thank god Farron said something.
Overall it's a massive win for May. Far too much fighting between parties. Why the feck were they not hammering May and the Tories with every sentence.
The questions were also awful - no NHS or Education. Only questions suited for the Tories, typical.
I sincerely hope Angus doesn't lose his seat, but I fear he will. It's a shame, because it looks like it will be the SNP in opposition yet again.

Least he's happy to be seen in public in this country.
If I could be arsed I'd stand up and applaud this post.
I have to respectfully disagree with that, total own goal, she's dropped a bollock here.
yeah i agree with pretty much everything you've said,wasnt a well done debate was bsaically 80 mins of people shouting at each other over some terrible questions, then 5 mins of laying into may for not turning up, then the conservatives get the final word.....
I suppose corbyn had to take the gamble and go but i don't think it helped him much if at all
Think Labour can be reasonably pleased with their decision to send Corbyn. Don't think it did damage to him but the few that watched even five minutes of it have seen plenty of May bashing.
I agree. I hope people at home will be questioning Theresa's ability to lead this country.
I disagree. Rudd held her own against little attack. Was allowed to skip over questions she was asked, as other leaders were grilled by direct zingers from the mediator. People will also remember the 'coalition of chaos' line. Needed to see less disagreement from the Lab/Lib/SNP.
I don't think he will. He consolidated his lead the last time out. It'll be tight but he'll win.
Think May's decision to send Rudd despite the death of her father two days ago makes it look positively callous, let alone cowardly.
That depends on whether the media latch onto it. They won't.
Gogglebox are bound to show Farron's comment at the end. Oddly I think that will play more of a part politically than it taking place in the debate did.
Exactly. Don't expect to see anything about May's absence on the 10 o'clock news either. It will be the coalition of chaos line. Calling it now.
My stream cut out towards the end what did Farron say?
Alright stranger! Absolutely, they'll feel slighted and if they don't, they probably should.
She was consistently jeered, I agree with the media bias though. They'll also have seen they every party, UKIP aside, is strongly against austerity and the cruel policies. If the public attitude is the same, they'll take that risk or vote Labour. That's what I hope anyway.
their wasn't much may bashing really till the last 5 mins, before that they where mainly taking pot shots at each other and shouting over the top of each other
I find him so funny.Had to laugh at Farron jumping straight into the audience to shake hands while everyone else stayed on stage. He really is a bit odd.
Why do companies have spokesmen?
Theresa May would have died up there tonight, it's no reflection on her as a leader just that there was someone better to fulfil the role of public debate for the Conservatives tonight.
Wow I didn't realise the caf was so pro-labour. Or is it just anti-torie?
Rudd needed the mediator to step in and change topics/questions when it came down to it. The Saudi Arms dealer come back by Lucas & Corbyn's fact checking about May's previous positions on voting on terror.
They wont be forgotten.
And I fail to see how that makes May come out strongly as a result.
So how is it reassuring she's going to represent the country in Brexit negotiations when she's not even the best person in her party to represent them?

Meanwhile.... Mrs May is probably on the naughty step at home right now. The girl's naughty step.
Particularly the latter.
