Prime Minister Rishi Sunak laughs as he asks Keir Starmer if he will negotiate with Syria and Afghanistan over returning illegal immigrants on BBC Prime Ministerial Debate.
Rishi Sunak will try to kick on today after delivering a high-energy performance in the final TV election debate.
Mr Sunak was seen as performing better on immigration and tax, which strategists believe will be crucial in shoring up the Tory vote for July 4. The PM is back on the campaign trail today after tearing into Keir Starmer over immigration and his 'dishonesty' on tax as he urged Brits not to 'surrender' the country to Labour
Mr Sunak was also clapped as he said Sir Keir 'wanted to be in charge' but had 'got nothing to say about what you would do about it'. Rishi Sunak tore into Keir Starmer over immigration and his 'dishonesty' on tax as as he struggles to avert a Tory meltdown The overall figures in the Find Out Now/Electoral Calculus MRP are for a Labour landslide with a majority of 250 seats. That would be bigger than Tony Blair's win, and only exceeded by the 1931 resultWe Think research suggested Labour could get a majority of 280 - the biggest in modern political history
'What I did when one of my team was alleged to have been involved and investigated by the Gambling Commission, they were suspended within minutes, because I knew it made it really important to be swift, the Prime Minister delayed and delayed and delayed until eventually he was bullied into taking action,' the Labour leader said.
The Prime Minister claimed he had warned about the damage of Ms Truss's plans, but Sir Keir said he then accepted them 'in the next breath'. This included claims of a 'retirement tax', as well as sharing an image of the often referred to letter that Labour former Treasury minister Liam Byrne left when the party last exited government joking there was 'no money left'.
Sir Keir continued: 'What I did, when one of my team was alleged to have been involved and investigated by the Gambling Commission, they were suspended within minutes, because I knew it made it really important to be swift, the Prime Minister delayed and delayed and delayed until eventually he was bullied into taking off.'
Sir Keir replied: 'Record numbers coming across the Channel and he says it's a deterrent, there are a few hundred that will go on a flight to Rwanda, a huge expense to taxpayers. There are tens of thousands, 15,000 people have come since Rishi Sunak has been Prime Minister.' 'So, this is an opportunity to restore that hope. I don't think we can do that by making sort of grand promises of things that can't be delivered.'
But Sir Keir feathered his answer, adding: 'What I will also say is that I do recognise that there are a small number of people who are born into a gender that they don't identify with, and I will treat them, as I treat all human beings, with dignity and respect.' 'Can you afford to pay at least £2,000 more in tax? And why won't Keir Starmer be straight with you about what he wants to do? And if you're not certain about Labour, don't surrender to them, don't vote for any other party, vote Conservative.'
Mr Sunak is desperately trying to change his fortunes as the election betting scandal continues to rage.Meanwhile, Tories fear that Reform will split the right-wing vote next week, opening the door for Labour to rack up seats. MRPs are now widely regarded as 'gold standard' in the polling industry, but they have been suggesting widely differing outcomes depending on assumptions such as likelihood to vote. They also take a longer period to conduct, meaning some of the research dates back weeks.
Meanwhile, Reform would pick up 18, with Mr Farage finally entering Parliament alongside Richard Tice. 'He refused over and over again to rule out tax rises, Keir Starmer is going to put taxes up,' the Cabinet minister said. 'Because we know that Labour are looking to reopen freedom of movement by the back door in complete contravention to what the British people want.'
