Sunak faces Starmer in first TV election debate

Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer hold their first TV debate since the prime minister called a General Election.

On the ITV programme, they tackled key issues including immigration, the Israel-Hamas war and the cost of living crisis.

Rishi Sunak refused to rule out withdrawing the UK from the ECHR over the Rwanda bill and Sir Keir Starmer attacked the prime minister's claim that NHS waiting lists are going down.
