Sir Keir Starmer News

BBC,Conservative Party,ITV

Daily Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon says the Prime Minister seemed tetchy and impatient as he repeatedly interrupted Keir Starmer.

The head-to-head was Rishi Sunak ’s last chance to change the minds of millions of voters sickened by his party.Sunak needed a big win, but a sceptical audience and a confident Starmer ensured he fell well short.

Sunak’s strategy was to hit Starmer hard with claims the Labour leader would “surrender” the UK’s borders and snatch their money. It also felt like Sunak’s main opponent on stage was not Starmer, but his invisible enemy Nigel Farage. Starmer performed better than he did during the ITV head-to-head, where he was slow to rebut Sunak’s claims on tax.Sunak repeatedly interrupted him with his “surrender” slogan, but the Labour leader won repeated rounds of applause.
