In a fiery final debate before the UK election, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour Leader Keir Starmer sparred over key issues. Sunak warned voters not to "surrender" to Labour, while Starmer accused the Conservatives of presiding over a crumbling NHS and record tax burden. The debate saw Sunak repeatedly talk over Starmer, accusing him of planning a tax on pensions. The Institute of Fiscal Studies has warned that neither party is being honest about the trade-offs needed between taxes and public services.
