Lets get a flavour of some of the sparks that flew tonight. This is one exchange betweenJeremy Corbyn and amber rudd, discussing the need for social care. We are a party who a lwa ys for social care. We are a party who always supports those in most need. And the welfare bill for helping people on disabilities has gone up £7 billion in the last three years. We will always provide that safety net.
