The long-awaited Sunak vs Starmer debate took place last night

Broadcasting legend Alastair Stewart has shared his verdict on the head-to-head political debate that took place last night.

This comes after the long-awaited debate took place this evening where Labour leader Keir Starmer and current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak locked horns over several key issues including taxes, NHS and immigration.ack in 2010, Stewart moderated the first-ever United Kingdom political leaders' debates between the prime minister candidates in the General Election.

Speaking to Martin Daubney on GB News, Stewart said: "I think that the Prime Minister came out fighting. The thing that struck me as I sat at home watching it was that he did not look like the guy who was 25 per cent behind in the polls and Sir Keir is the guy who is set for the biggest landslide since Tony Blair.

"I thought that Rishi looked confident, was fleet of foot and gave as good as he got. I thought Sir Keir, as I predicted, looked nervous, lawyer-like and lacking any charisma.

"So I think that it was a victory as the polling has suggested for Rishi Sunak."
