Sunak v Starmer - why the TV debate taught us more than you think
•
So - who won on the night? Did anybody land a killer blow? And did we manage to tick off our bingo cards?
Camilla and Kamal give their verdicts and take you inside the 'spin room' after the first leaders' debate in Manchester to capture Labour's furious reaction to Sunak's 'garbage' £2000 tax claims.
Plus, Kamal catches up with Michael Gove and Wes Streeting for their thoughts on the impact that Nigel Farage will have on this election.
They also use new research to identify which political 'tribe' they are, cross to Portsmouth for reaction to a day of commemoration for the 80th anniversary of D-Day and - can they get their hands on a new King Charles bank note?
