After simulcasting Question Time Stephen Nolan and John Pienaar took calls on the big talking points.

After midnight the biggest response came from whether teachers' pay should be performance related. We had a big response from current teachers most of whom believed that it is too difficult to compare one teacher against another and the bureaucracy would to be impossible to implement.

The final half an hour featured a fascinating interaction between Bulgarian immigrant Iglika, who spoke of the hard working nature of her people and doubted how many of the 7 million population would actually come to the UK anyway.
