Here's what our columnists @robertshrimsley and @stephenkb make of how Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer are performing in tonight's debate: https://t.co/kblDAAjnQp https://t.co/leZjtBTysa
The problem for Rishi Sunak is that this is not a debating competition. Even if he seems to win most of these arguments and pins Keir Starmer down, it will only make him look to many as though he is patronising, privileged and aggressive.
🚨 NEW: Voter Robert to Rishi Sunak: “You’re a pretty mediocre prime minister” To Keir Starmer: “Your strings are being pulled by very senior members of the Labour Party.” “Are you two really the best we’ve got to be prime minister of our great country?” #BBCDebate https://t.co/RISQuSI5Sk
Wince-inducing Q from Robert, who tells Rishi Sunak he's been a "mediocre PM" and Keir Starmer he's having his strings pulled by senior Labour figures. "Are you two really the best we've got to be the next PM of our great country?" 😬
Wince-inducing Q from Robert, who tells Rishi Sunak he's been a "mediocre PM" and Keir Starmer he's having his strings pulled by senior Labour figures
Audience member named Robert to Sunak: “You’re a pretty mediocre prime minister” To Starmer: “Your strings are being pulled by very senior members of the Labour Party.” To both: “Are you two really the best we’ve got to be prime minister of our great country?”
Starmer to Sunak: “I think you should show some respect to the audience, who want to know what I have to say about this without constantly being interrupted.” A few heckles from said audience.

First big round of applause of the night. Starmer is trying to respond to a question. Sunak keeps interrupting. Starmer: "If you listened to people in the audience nd across the country more often, you might not be quite so out of touch." 🔥🔥🔥~AA https://t.co/pyuytRx3QX

In my view Rishi Sunak is slowly winning round the BBC's head to head debate audience, which initially applauded Sir Keir Starmer's "out of touch" jibe against the Prime Minister. On what Labour might do about the soaring welfare bill, Starmer is less certain. Sunak's attack line…
Starmer to Sunak with the best zinger of any of the debates so far: "If you listened to people in the audience across the country more often, you might not be so out of touch."

Starmer, after being interrupted for the umpteenth time: "If you listened to people in the audience and across the country more often maybe you wouldn't be so out of touch."
Starmer slaps down Sunak for interrupting him: "if you listened to more people in the audience and around the country you might not be so out of touch" - applause from audience
