Keir Starmer accused Rishi Sunak of being ¡°out of touch¡± with voters as the Labour leader promised to fix Britain¡¯s stagnant economy and ailing public services, and the prime minister used the final televised debate to attack his poll-leading rival on taxes ahead of next week¡¯s election.

In what was likely to be the last set-piece moment for Sunak to try to prevent a resounding Labour victory on July 4, a snap poll showed the two leaders were tied in the at-times spiky debate in Nottingham.

That will suit Starmer, whose goal between now and election day is to avoid any unforced errors.
