British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn clashed Fridaynight in the last head-to-head debate before a general election in six days.

Last Updated Friday, December 6, 2019 5:28PM EST

BBC moderator Nick Robinson suggested voters faced an "impossible choice" between two unpopular leaders. That impression was reinforced Friday when two former prime ministers criticized their own party's contenders. Former Conservative premier John Major called Brexit the "worst foreign policy decision in my lifetime," while ex-Labour leader Tony Blair urged voters to make the best of a "horrible" choice.

"You cannot end the uncertainty on Brexit if you do not know what the deal is that you want to do," Johnson said. "You cannot negotiate a deal if you are neutral on it." Johnson's party is promising to increase public spending if it wins the election, and Corbyn tackled Johnson on inflated promises, such as a claim his government will build 40 news hospitals. In fact that number includes many existing facilities that will be renovated.

Corbyn said the document "drives a coach and horses through Boris Johnson's claim that there will be no border in the Irish Sea."The Conservative Party said the leaked document was an "immediate assessment" rather than a detailed analysis.
