Read our privacy policy Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer have been reprimanded for talking over each other during a fiery ITV leaders’ debate. “Gentlemen please, we’re just going to take a pause there.” After a commercial break, the host warned them: “Just a little information for both of our candidates here, please, an appeal from me, not to speak over one another. “That was a gentle reminder, it may not be so gentle next time.” One viewer posted on X: “This debate is absolutely awful. I have zero confidence it will give a single voter any help in making a choice.” Another said: “Julie, please get hold of this, stop letting him talk over you.” Later, as the debate over immigration got heated, the Prime Minister raised his voice asking the Labour leader: “What are you going to do with illegal migrants?” Etchingham intervened: “Please gentleman, we will lower our voices.”
