Story

Starmer faced scrutiny on his support for Corbyn during a recent interview with Beth Rigby. Rigby's questions were rigorous, particularly focusing on Starmer's relationship with Jeremy Corbyn. Despite Starmer's confident demeanor, his responses to questions on immigration and tax were deemed evasive and vague by the audience. On the other hand, Rishi Sunak appeared more convincing and detailed in his answers, earning praise from Janet Daley. Sunak's performance was seen as more genuine compared to Starmer's, who struggled to address concerns about his past U-turns and political positions. Overall, Sunak was perceived as the stronger candidate during the interview, while Starmer's performance left much to be desired.
