UK elections: Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer clash in testy final TV debate
Hindustan TimesBritish Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer went head-to-head on Wednesday in their last debate before an election next week, with both launching highly personal attacks over their and their parties' credibility. Labour Party leader Keir Starmer and Britain's Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak attend a live TV debate, hosted by The BBC. With Sunak's Conservatives trailing Labour by around 20 points in the polls, the prime minister went on the attack, accusing Starmer of not being straight with the country on migration, tax and women's rights, and urging voters not to "surrender" to the Labour Party. He called Sunak a "pretty mediocre prime minister" and said he thought that Starmer's strings were being pulled by senior members of the Labour Party.
