“Sunak /Starmer - verdict so far
There is now an ad break.
And how are they doing?
In terms of getting his message over, Rishi Sunak is clearly doing best. He arrived determined to hammer away at one point – a very dubious claim about the potential costs of Labour plans, which has not received a lot of coverage since it was first made several weeks ago (even in rightwing papers) because it is based on dodgy costs – and he has repeated it so often that viewers must have got the point. Julie Etchingham has not pushed back on him about this, and Starmer has not challenged this as forcefully as he might have done.
It probably will not have much impact, because the evidence suggests voters are no longer listening to Sunak. But Starmer has let this allegation get more airtime than it deserved.
On the plus side, for Starmer, he is sounding calmer and more relaxed. Sunak started sounding tetchy after people laughted at him over waiting times. And Starmer has sounded more sympathetic to the questioners.”
