The Prime Minister faced the Labour leader for their final head-to-head debate before polling day.
Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer have faced off in the final televised head-to-head clash of the General Election campaign.
Sir Keir accused his opponent of being bullied into responding to the unfolding scandal about Tory candidates allegedly betting on the timing of the General Election. In response, Mr Sunak said: "It was important to me that given the seriousness and the sensitivity of the matters at hand that they were dealt with properly, and that's what I've done."Mr Sunak also faced accusations of being out of touch with the public, after one testy exchange with Sir Keir.
The Prime Minister claimed he had warned about the damage of Ms Truss's plans, but Sir Keir said he then accepted them "in the next breath". Pro-Palestine protesters were among those demonstrating outside the venue, including a group called Nottingham Solidarity Group, who confirmed their attendance on X, formerly Twitter.The Conservative Party rebranded its X account to "Tax Check UK" ahead of the debate, and pumped out a steady stream of claims about how Labour's plans would impact the taxes voters would pay.
