Nigel Farage turns on the audience
He says that this audience is a really left wing audience even on the based on BBC standards. This doesn’t go down well, he hasn’t been getting good reaction to his points so far, and this doesn’t seem to be helping.
Dimbleby hits backs – this audience was chosen by an independent polling organisation to represent voters, he tells Farage.
Farage says that the real audience is at home, that also doesn’t go well with the audience, but is probably very popular with his core vote at home.
Ed Miliband enjoys it: “It’s never a good idea to attack the audience, in my experience.”
He demands that the leaders accept there is a problem with immigration when it comes to housing. He seems to be so unpopular at this moment in the debate he has led Nicola Sturgeon to (slightly) defend Ed Miliband’s housing policy.
She says Mr Farage is clearly here to “win friends and influence people”.
Natalie Bennett tries to move the debate on from immigration – which will be dealt with in a separate question later – and on to house building.She is relying heavily on her notes, possibly to avoid more “brain fade”.
