Cheering for Ed this lunchtime was loudest when he spoke about UKIP, vowing “take them apart”. The Labour leader told his audience “it’s time we had a debate about where they really stand”:

So will he take up the offer of a head-to-head debate with Nigel Farage?

UPDATE: Farage responds:

“Let’s have a live, televised head to head debate before the start of the general election campaign. I’m free any time after November 24th.”

UPDATE II:

Come and have a go, @Ed_Miliband pic.twitter.com/zRbooh84b9
