The BBC debate featured just five party leaders. It got people thinking – what was David Cameron up to tonight that was so important?
Maybe he was putting his feet up at home.
#BBCDebate meanwhile in Number 10
Or playing on his iPad – he enjoys that.
I wonder what level of Fruit Ninja David Cameron has got to tonight while he isn’t on this debate? #bbcdebate
Perhaps there was some sport on TV.
As #BBCDebate rages, here's what David Cameron is up to
Ooh, but he does enjoy a Nando's.
Can only assume @David_Cameron & @nick_clegg are having dinner together at @NandosUK together tonight... No other excuse #BBCDebate
Or maybe he just fancied spending some quality time with his deputy on a balmy spring evening?
Just seen @David_Cameron & @nick_clegg throwing stones on the railway tracks whilst bunking off the #BBCDebate
Either way, an awful lot of people thought he should have been there.
David Cameron should have been in this debate... I think Ed Miliband feels he has kind of free range. Seems to be enjoying himself.
I hope David Cameron's watching at home because I think tonight may be the night he lost the election...
Even this Tory peer wasn't impressed with Cameron's decision.
The gamble by @Ed_Miliband of appearing in this debate without @David_Cameron is on balance paying off....
Even Ed Miliband thought he should have been there too.
David Cameron has decided not to attend tonight’s debate. If you're applying for the job of PM, you should turn up to the job interview.
