The Conservative Party press office tweeted: "Corbyn's answer on this Trident question is about as long as the 4 minute warning #bbcq", as some of the audience heckled, but another backed the Labour leader, saying she didn't understand why everyone in the room seemed "so keen" on killing millions of people.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister signalled that she wants to meet her pledge to cut immigration below 100,000 by 2022, telling reporters this is what she would be "working for".
