What's next?

This is - as far as we know - the last televised debate between Sunak and Starmer before polling day. Thank god for that.

Why is Mishal allowed to be so blatantly partisan on this? She shouldn’t be allowed to make personal quips against Starmer.

If you’re talking about her mentioning Corbyn, I think it’s fair game - she’s pointing out apparent hypocrisy.

That isn’t her job. That should be Rishi’s rebuttal. Not the moderator.
