Five takeaways from the Northampton North election debate

What did we learn from a live debate with five of the Northampton North election candidates?

The candidates wanting to be the next Northampton North MP have been facing questions in a BBC Radio Northampton election debate.

Conservative Dan Bennett defended the Tories' record on the NHS and said the party had a "long-term workforce plan for recruiting 100,000 new nurses and nearly 30,000 new doctors". Chris Leggett for the Liberal Democrats agreed with Reform candidate Antony Antoniou that the town centre was in trouble.

Conservative's Dan Bennett said he would like to see "more police out on the streets". He said the Tories wanted to put 8,000 more police officers on the street. For the Liberal Democrats, Chris Leggett said they have a policy of diversion to avoid people going into the police and court system.Politics can often be heated between the parties and a regular complaint I hear from people is they don't like the "punch and judy" nature of it.
