Exactly my thoughts… so desperately want to vote for @UKLabour but this was shocking. No answers, no solutions, there is no way anyone with half a brain could vote for them. @LibDems seems the only reasonable option after this #bbcqt debate.

Man in audience is keen to vote #Labour but expresses despair that @bphillipsonMP didn’t directly answer any questions - choosing to give ‘vague answers’. He says: “Just answer the question & convince me to vote for you! I want to! Tell me how.” Is he right? #BBCQT



OMG we’re so screwed. @UKLabour will most likely be in power after 4th July and they have NO answers or plans. All regressive and ignorant, peddling the same old nonsense about Universities as before. We need high quality Universties AND apprenticeships. @bbcquestiontime
