Sunak and Starmer go head to head

Amol and Nick look ahead to the head-to-head television debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer and the dividing lines between them.

In the first of our election campaign Monday bonus episodes, Amol and Nick look ahead to the head-to-head television debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.

What can the two leaders learn from previous election debates? How do they deploy the perfect zinger? And how will they judge their performance a success?
