On the immigration question I think they both came out pretty well. Appealing to their core voters I must admit. But strong responses from the both of them. Hard to judge between them on this issue. Basically if you want to believe Rishi then Starmer isn’t swaying you on this question, and if you want to believe Starmer then Rishi isn’t persuading you.
I didn’t have high hopes for responses or even the questions for that matter. I’m in it for the gaffs. Hoping Starmer let’s slip “you twat” in a hot mic moment.
Rishi coming off better in this question of retirement tax than Starmer. All he has to say is “under Liz Truss, under Liz Truss”. Poor from Starmer on that one.
I thought Starmer started off well but he’s getting some push back from Rishi that he needs to tackle otherwise he’s going to get swamped by Rishi’s combative style. Round One pretty indecisive. 😕
