Bullshit post-rationalisation I think. Given how awful the debate was I expect many, many people will have only watched the first 10 mins or so, by which time Sunak had hammered home the £2k tax thing and Starmer hadn't challenged it all. That will be the takeaway and any subsequent implosion won't matter. See £350m bus for details.

This.
It was a massive mistake not to counter this straight away and when he belatedly did his explanation was too technical for the format. Starmer might be good at forensic questioning in settings like PMQs but he dropped a massive ball here.
Prole.
There's a suggestion labour were forewarned about the 2000 thing and let the Tories run with it, knowing it would implode and be a strategic failure once scrutinized.
