How Natalie Bennett got the biggest cheer of the debate (so far)

One of the questions in tonight's opposition leaders' debate was on the renewal of Trident, and the discussion moved on to how effective nuclear weapons would be in combating threats such as those posed by Isis.

Here was Green Party leader Natalie Bennett's contribution to the debate, which at time of writing earned the biggest cheer of the night from the audience.

What's really important is regional countries are feeding Isis, money is coming through them. What we need is strong diplomatic efforts to put pressure on that region. And we also need to stop pumping our own arms into that region, particularly countries like Saudi Arabia, which are huge human rights abusers, hugely fuelling conflict in the region, and that needs to stop.
