In the final debate before the UK elections, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer clashed over a betting scandal, with five Conservative politicians and staffers suspended for allegedly betting on the election date. The debate was marked by heated exchanges, with Sunak accusing Labour of having costly and unfeasible plans, particularly on tax and migration. Sunak's behavior, described as interruptive and childish by viewers and critics, contrasted with Starmer's call for respect towards the audience's concerns. Starmer challenged Sunak's claims on Labour's tax policies and criticized the Conservative's record on issues like the Channel migrant crisis and Covid-19 regulations. Sunak also attempted to discredit Labour's net-zero plans, claiming they would be prohibitively expensive, which Starmer countered by emphasizing the involvement of global investors. A snap poll post-debate indicated an even split in viewer opinions on who performed better.
