The final televised debate before the election between UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was characterized by sharp exchanges. Sunak attacked early on, focusing on immigration issues, while Starmer tried to deflect but appeared visibly frustrated. The debate was briefly disrupted by pro-Palestine protesters outside the venue. There was a tax battle, with Sunak accusing Labour of potential tax increases and Starmer defending against this claim. Sunak urged voters not to 'surrender' to Labour on various issues. Both leaders faced candid questions from the audience, including on women's and transgender rights, with Sunak emphasizing the importance of protecting women's spaces and Starmer criticizing Sunak's lack of empathy. The debate ended without a handshake between the two leaders.
