Clash of the Titans

Sunak and Starmer Trade Barbs in Tax and Border Debate

Taxing Matters

Labour leader Keir Starmer accused Chancellor Rishi Sunak of "resorting to lies" over Labour's tax plan during the final television debate of the election campaign. Sunak, in turn, accused Starmer of "not understanding the economy" and "making promises he cannot keep."

Border Control

The two leaders also clashed over ways to control illegal immigration. Starmer pledged to "secure our borders" without "turning our backs on the world," while Sunak said the Conservative Party would "take back control" of immigration and "reduce net migration to the tens of thousands."

Conclusion

With just days to go until the election, the debate provided a sharp contrast between the two main parties' visions for the country. Voters will now have to decide which party they believe can best tackle the challenges facing the UK.
