Sunak came across terribly (shocker), and given the reaction today, I reckon the "no national service = no driving licence" gaff could have properly lost it for him. The "shame on you" chants were pure joy.
I did think Bruce was unnecessarily pushy on some points with Keir. The whole "why won't you put a number on immigration" thing was pandering to the worst elements of this election. As Keir has rightly pointed out before, the issue is too complex (and constantly changing) to be reduced to an arbitrary number. For her to keep pressing, then question how the new home numbers in their manifesto can be accurate if they "don't know how many people will be living here", was painfully reductionist.
