Leaders’ debate: post-event tweets

10:57 PM

Some party leaders have wasted no time in taking to Twitter to fire a parting shot:

Thank you to @ITV for the opportunity to put my case. The UK needs to stick to the plan and not be taken back to square one.

I am passionate about our vision for action on zero-hours, tuition fees and the NHS. David Cameron had nothing to say tonight.

— Ed Miliband (@Ed_Miliband) April 2, 2015

I want to say, Nigel Farage's comment about the NHS and HIV was disgusting. He should be ashamed. The fact he isn't says so much.

Really enjoyed that debate but I think we'll be waiting a long time for Miliband to say sorry for crashing our economy. #leadersdebate

And Farage's comments about foreign people with HIV were simply vile and desperate. Politics of the lowest form. #FairerSociety

But the smaller parties seem glad just to have been invited:

Thanks so much for all the good wishes before and since the #leadersdebate. I really enjoyed it. #GE15 #voteSNP
