In what could be a defining moment in the run up to the British general election, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn will clash in a televised debate on Brexit and other issues

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn prepare to lay wreaths during the Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall in London on November 10, 2019.

The debate will feature only two candidates after the High Court in London rejected a legal challenge from two smaller anti-Brexit parties, the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National Party, over ITV’s decision to exclude their leaders from the debate. More than three years after the UK voted to leave the 28-nation bloc, the terms of the country’s departure and the nature of its future relationship with the EU remain unclear. Britain is now scheduled to leave the EU on January 31, but British lawmakers have not yet passed Johnson’s deal.

Labour economy spokesman John McDonnell told the BBC that the party would tackle society's "grotesque levels of inequality”.
