“If you have a system which incentivises people to say they have a mental health issue, that puts a lot of pressure on the system”

Rachel Maclean says it's become hard to distinguish between “life as it is, life is hard” and a mental condition

“Do you know what country has the worst mental health in the world? Monaco… it’s affluence”

Columnist Rod Liddle says “alienation” in society and countries’ ability to fund mental health services has led to an increase in usage of those services

“What I’ve seen in the North East is an absolute determined intention to take funds away”

“The money has already been spent”

“After decades of absolutely nothing happening under Labour… there will be more to come but you need to vote Conservative”

The Conservatives’ Rachel Maclean says levelling up is “our central mission” and local leadership has been positive

“There is a way to bring industry into the parts of the country we want to see it… people have been let down for too long”

Our second question tonight

#bbcqt

“This is not a sensible plan. It’s an incredibly reckless plan”

Author Philippa Gregory says a “constant demand” for immigration will only increase as climate change continues, and a “proper immigration policy” would help grant more people asylum

“The Tories have lost control of our borders. It's time for a reasonable, fair system and that's what Labour wants to see”

Labour’s Sarah Jones says 'We have to stop the boats' but that the Rwanda bill is 'nothing more than a gimmick'
