host: thank you, david cameron. nigel farage. ron: we have taken some of most photo people from syria but one of the things we can do is maintain the fact that we are one of the biggest, i think the second-largest, bilateral aid donor helping people in those record -- in those refugee camps and trying to find a solution to get them home. there are about 6 million people who are in danger of being refugees and we cannot take all those people in, so it makes sense to use our a budget to try to help people in the region. sturgeon: nigel farage wants to take the u.k. out of europe. david cameron is dangerously close to the exit door. i would like to challenge david, ed, and make. --and nick. would they make the commitment that there is an in-out referendum, none of the u.k. nations will be taken out of europe without there will. miliband: my priority is not to have an in-out referendum. the british people have a decision to make tonight and in the general election. david cameron will spend the next two years deciding whether to exit t

thank you david cameron. >> second tame in this debate. >> i want to come back. >> thank you, david cameron. >> twice in this debate. >> thank you nigel farage. let's hear the point op syria. thank you. >> we have taken some people from syria, some of the most vulnerable people including elderly and disabled people. but the most important thing we can do in syria is maintain the fact that we're the second largest bilateral aid donor helping people in the refugee camps to be clothed and housed and try to find a solution so they can go home. there are 6 million people who are in danger of being refugees. we cannot take all those people in. it makes sense to use our aid budget to help them in the issue. >> on the issue of leaving europe nicola sturgeon. >> nigel farage want to take the uk out. david cameron is takes us dangerously close to the exit door. i would like to issue a challenge, they spent a lot of time in scotland talking about the uk family of nations. will they give a commitment that if there is an inout referendum no one part of that family of nation wills be taken out of europe

david cameron. think it is much better to have a fair plan which says those with the broadest shoulders should bear the biggest burden. we will make reductions in spending. bennett: there have been two issues covered here. one is the issue of the debt. it is worth saying over the past 100 years, half of it, britain ran a higher debt to gdp ratio. no one worried about it much. the question is why you are borrowing. if you are borrowing for the new council on homes for social rent that we so desperately need, you know you will get a return far into the future. that asset is there for the future generations. the second point about the nature of the cuts, this has been borne overwhelmingly by the most vulnerable in the society. two thirds of the households affected by the bedroom tax have at least one disabled person. 18000 of the most vulnerable people in our society, their support slashed away. we have to be a humane, fair and decent society in support the -- society and support the most vulnerable. ca

nick cleggs7 thank you. >> iranic isn't it hearing nick clegg and david cameron argue when they have in glove the last five years. david said everybody had been proved wrong. that's a not that case. he missed his own borrowing targets by 150 billion pounds. his policies are pushing children into poverty. there is a million additional children estimated to be going to be living in poverty by 2020. this is not right. so what i want to do. i back it on raising the --. i also want the see raising in the future of children. i take a clear view. this country cannot affordi+w more cuts in the next parliament. we need to see spending rise so we can invest in things that matter. >> i'm hearing half the panel saying that we have no economic problems with debt at all. and the other half of the panel saying that they have been prudent in government. look there is no question that spending got completely out of control under labor. and there are many:,!q thought this coalition would bring it back under control. we have doubled the national debt in the course of the last five years. our debt repaym

host: i will turn to david cameron now. let's pick up on natalie bennett's point that immigration should be celebrated. prime minister cameron: we do have benefits but i think the choice boils down to this -- nigel is saying there is nothing you can do inside the european union so give up and leave. edward seems to say he does not want to renegotiate anything. i say renegotiate, get the changes we need, and put those in a referendum to the british people by the end of 2017. i have sat around that table in europe and negotiated for britain. you can get things done. i have set out with i want to get done so we can sort out this immigration issue once and for all. >> mrs. merkel has made it perfectly clear we can negotiate a lot of things but you cannot renegotiate the free movement of people within the european union. that is backed up by the president of the european council. do you accept or not that in your renegotiation, free movement is not up for discussion? prime minister cameron: i don't accept that you give up before

david cameron is saying there should be less bank regulation at the time. leave that to one side. we learned that lesson for the future. i'm the first labor leader david, going into an election saying spending in key area is actually going to fall. that's because i'm so determined, back to elizabeth, that we live within our means. >> all right. the lady -- yes? >> and just going back to your letter for a moment, the letter mr. cameron, you call is a prop. i run a business here. the last five years has been really hard work. we have a plan and the economy is improving. for me back in as a chancellor and he called that letter a joke. let me tell you, running a business the last few years is anything but a joke, and if that's the way your party wants to treat the economy, how can we trust you? [ applause ] >> what does your business do? >> i employ 76 people here in the city. >> let me tell you very specifically what i think we need to do for businesses like yours and this does go to the big choice of this election. there will be some people who tell you that the way we succeed as a c

david cameron -- no david cameron, no nick clegg. you get different reasons for that. there was an opposition leaders debate. that did include ed miliband of the labour party. he has the most chance of becoming a prime minister. the focus was the relationship between miliband and nicola sturgeon. how closely with they want to work together? they labour party has ruled out a coalition with the s and p -- the snp. the door has been open for some type of cooperation. >> tell me is it the case you would rather see david cameron go back then work with thesn snp. [applause] >> the difference is i thought tori all my life. unlike the snp.. we end up with a live them. you fought labor all your life. >> we fought to take david cameron off. do not turn your back on it. anna: the willingness, the aim, the goal to kick david cameron out of downey street. he did not hear much about the long-term economic plan and the economy. jericho i did catch -- jon: i did catch some of it. there is an unemployment number out today. the estimate is 5.6%. that should be a number that matches. tha

david cameron: we want to see lloyd's and the private sector.t say that was a retail sell to individuals. the crucial point is that more of clearing up the mess they left us. we had that taxpayers put 20 billion pounds and the banks and i want to get the money back. that's what we are doing. we are for covered billion and this would help us recover billions more. anna: it would cover billions he said. the government has come from a 43% to 22%. jonathan: isn't about creating a culture of saving and allowing the public to invest? on the flipside, i say, i would like them to get as much money as they can add no point in playing this lottery. you also wonder is it really move the dial in the election race. anna: there are things on the agenda today. in terms of what we're here on the lloyd's story, you really harking back. they're thinking about the things though labour party did in the 1980's. we had a extension all the right tell by which was the highlight of last week. whether they're looking back am looking at what created, the tories and spread

prime minister david cameron on -- cameron is on track for to break a record, the first leader to serveno change in borrowing costs. joining us now is jennifer and ben. this becomes quite a boring central-bank decision, how important is the election down the road? jennifer: the main thing to them is the uncertainty about business investments. in the thing is all elections create uncertainty, but with this particular election with no clear winner and no clear majority, you don't know how the coalition will turn out and you don't know what kind of business manager in will get or what kind of economic policies. until the hurdle is passed keep things as they are. jon: you go back to 1950, the lesson we had a full term minister without a hike. if you were to read into the economy that is one way to read and. jennifer: it speaks to what the promised or was doing at that point the whole host of other global issues. we are dealing with the fallout from the financial crisis. in europe there buying government bonds to keep inflation from sinking in and getting hold. jon: the bank of england seems

david cameron says that smp in westminster will be very destructive. referred it to a "triple lock" on democracy. >> i think that is the direction of travel there has to be a substantial change in circumstances. then people have to vote for the party that is proposing another referendum in the manifest or people in the referendum would have to vote for independence. anna: talking about the triple lock on democracy -- the three things that would need to happen to see scotland become independent, but she sees scotland with an independent future. caroline: david cameron's reaction -- talk about more of what the conservatives aren't bailing. -- are unveiling. anna: more than just -- welabor has said, you have made this announcement seven times and david cameron was saying, yes, we have sold lloyd shares before and taken the government stake in that bank down to 22%, but this is about broadening the shares to retail investors, and that -- david cameron: we want to see lloyd's back in the private sector but we haven't said there will be an individual offers

david cameron said the same thing. ofcom's in existence.h this election going down to the wire there's every chaps that it will outlast the government. >> the british broadcasting regulator with a big responsibility and limited mandate. >> reporter: june 2001 queen elizabeth ii unveiled the government's proposal to regulate broadcast media operating in the u.k. >> a draft bill to create a single regulator for the media and communication industries. >> reporter: the outcome, the creation of ofcom, the office of communications an independent watchdog set up to monitor and punish among other things outlets that do not punish bias or impartiality. >> ofcom is an interesting setup. it's a regulator that worked. it was set up to really look after, administer adjudicate two things - one of which was the commercial competition between the commercial broadcasters and secondly to make sure the content delivered to the public met varies standards. >> they are there to protect people from receiving material that is offensive or racist or idea logically

it was without the presence of david cameron. standout moments?he relationship between s&p and labor going into this debate was going to be focus. the labor party said they will not go into a full. that leaves the possibility of working together. watching this debate, you really wanted to get an idea how closely together these two parties would work. >> tell me tonight is it the case that you would rather see david cameron than -- that can not be your positioning. [applause] >> i fought tmp oris all my life. we end one a tori coalition. you fought labor all your life. >> don't turn your back on it. people will never forgive you. mark: beyond that dynamic, what topics were covered? anna: they gave us more intight into policy, government spending housing, on what they would do with a hung apartment. here we are picking up from what sturgeon was saying there. it is clear there were a number of people on the panel who could quite happily work together if they were all united together to keep the toris out of government. >> most importantly, we want to

the irish party mostly sits with david cameron.rs clearly stack up in ed miliband's favor. but that gives the liberal democrats a lot of bargaining power. >> what a dismal choice. >> this is just a projection. the conservatives do a little better. what many want him to do is risk forming a coalition and go it alone. anna: fantastic. i'm joined now by my bloomberg politics coanchor, guy johnson. guy is hosting a debate on britain and europe. good morning. guy: it kind of leads back to what rob was talking about. who is going to form the next government? the labour party says that a referendum is bad for british business. the conservatives say that a referendum needs to be answered. today, we talk about the fact the fiction, and the future. we've got a great panel. john mills, lord lamont roger carr, all joining us downstairs. it is our debate, but it is also our audience's debate. we are going to have a twitter war. we are taking questions from our tv audience and from our twitter audience as well. anna: #bbgpolitics if you want to

the real danger in this country is if a re-elected david cameron who doubled spending cuts falling living and threat to national health service. that's a big close this election. >> i don't say -- >> i don't say there is no difference between nied and dav cameron. there is not a big enough difference between ed and david cameron. >> the uk independence party leader got a mild scolding from the bbc moderators. >> there seems to be a total lack of comprehension on this panel and this audience which is a remarkable audience even by the left wing standard of the bbc. believe me. >> hang on a second. >> hang on a second. >> let me just say one thing. this is an audience carefully chosen, not by the bbc, not by the bbc, but by an independent polling organization to represent the balance between all parties. >> very good. very good. [ cheers and applause ] >> i think it is very interesting -- >> never a great idea to -- >> the great audience sitting at home, actually. >> don't dis the audience. a ugov uk poll shows a tie. keep in mind there is 3% margin of error in this poll. >>> let's look at t

looking at the snap polls on these events, it looks like david cameron won it. is that a reflection of the general polls? >> no. they tend to be more evenly balanced. can i say -- i was wrong. i thought giving some of the other television debates being frightfully tedious that this would be the case. it was not bad at all. british campaigns, the politicians are sheltered from the voters as they speak to a dohring hands and are kept away from people like us asking if the goal questions -- difficult questions. here they are, in the way that lions who smell we -- meet get hungry. it was absolutely fascinating. does it reflect the polls? no. will it change very much that david cameron did well and the others troubled? -- struggled? probably not. >> i tuned in a few times and i did hear all of ed miliband and david cameron being called blatant liars. is that reflective of voter dissatisfaction? >> i'm not sure whether that reflects entirely across the country but you hit the nail on the head. these were voters saying let me at them, i want to get at them. it is fair

david cameron says he couldn't live on a zero hours contract. nor could i, david. but the difference with me is i'm going to do something about it. i'm going to legislate. if you do regular hours you get a regular contract, not a zero hours contract. and it goes to what kind of country we build. do we build a country with security for working families and our young people or based on insecurity? >> ed miliband -- >> in wales they voted against an amendment to end zero hour contracts in the care sector. so why should people believe what you say on zero hour contracts? >> but also i think leanne makes a good point because we discovered today there are about 70 labour mps who employ people on zero hour contracts and they haven't gotten to the bit about practicing what you preach. but there is a big err why point here. yesterday hundreds of business leaders from some of the most iconic business brands, large and small said that the plan that we have is getting the country back to work is getting the country on the right track and if we go off that with ed miliband's pl

leadership and david cameron has played that angle quite well.e one of the world's major powers but it seems as if politicians do not seem to bother on the surface of defense spending falling below that crucial 2% of gdp level. if that trend continues, can we as a nation help peace and stability in the world when you are spending less as a proportion of your gdp? robert: people are thinking constantly, how do you measure influence internationally? does having a larger army and defense capability make much of a difference? the united states is the largest defense spender in the world but has not been able to change things as much as governments expected to in the past but has focused on spending in international development and aid. i think, at the moment is defense the absolute guarantee or not? probably not in terms of influence. but when you are a permanent member of the united states -- of the un security council, one of only five countries. your air force has been cut and your army may go down 60,000 troops. your ability to offer deterrence d

it was a free-for-all with david cameron not being there. kathy: right, so he didn't show up because he thought it would not help him. to some extent, didn't hurt him? rob: i thinks its swings and roundabouts. on the one hand, it is a bad thing not to be there. throwing punches at your policies. you ought to give one back. there were attacks from the left criticizing austerity. on the other hand, david cameron mayfield of voters will -- may f eel that the voters will look at the leaders on stage a coalition of the left, and think, i am not sure i want this lot to be in the government together. kathy: rob, this was not meant to be a debate about the health care services in britain but it did strike me how often the candidates kept returning to that issue. how important is it to british voters, the future of the nhs? rob: the nhs is the closest thing to britain has a national religion that everyone can agree on. a fabulous institution. maybe he could do better sometimes, but by and large -- you are a live rail. it is a huge issue. again, i thi

i don't think what david cameron wants. i think david cameron wants to renegotiate our status and for us to stay in the european union because of the advantages for the u.k. but i don't think there are any plausible alternatives which give us roughly the same economic and trade deal which we have at the moment. that's one of the weaknesses in the u.k. case and that's one of the reasons i hope their supporters peaked last year and. >> david cameron says we don't want the referendum for a couple of years because that gives me time to negotiate what we have with the european union. frankly. >> there's a lot of interest and support in the e.u. for change and reform beth for economics and welfare and migration. they are on a crisis of their own. they don't want much if any treaty change. that's going to be a real problem to change the fundamentals, the constitutional fundamentals of the eu but of course he has some support in the e.u. he needs to be very careful in not overplaying his hand and not assuming that people want the u
