SUNAK, STARMER FACE TELEVISED GRILLING BY UNHAPPY VOTERS- Three weeks till the General Election 

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer were grilled by voters at a televised event, with both challenged over past decisions, pledges, and how they would fund policies if they won a July 4 election.

At their latest meeting in television studios before the poll, the two men took turns facing an interviewer and then an audience, whose questions and responses underscored the everyday struggles of many in Britain and the mistrust of politicians.

With just over three weeks until an election, Sunak was pressed over doctors’ strikes, migration and his policy to introduce national service for young people.

Starmer was taken to task for what one audience member said was his avoidance of answering questions, and over his previous support of his predecessor, left-wing veteran Jeremy Corbyn.
