Angela Rayner and Penny Mordaunt spar over taxes, defence and cost of living as others jostle for attention
Tuesday’s head-to-head debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir StarmerThe wide-ranging debate, with a series of topics raised by audience questions, was occasionally unruly as the seven participants jostled for attention.
Rayner replied that the planned publicly owned clean energy firm “will bring down bills and give people good skilled jobs”, contrasting this with what she called 14 years of failed promises on skills and manufacturing. Farage also sought to present himself as an outsider, with answers that were low on specifics but promised instead what he called “new politics, fresh start – we want a revolt from the British people”.
In a section on immigration, Flynn castigated the two main parties for pledging to slash it, saying migration was “absolutely essential to our public services”, adding: “What we need to do is end the demonisation of migration in Scotland.”
