They didn’t clash over immigration. They mostly agreed and deflected. The small boats are a red herring.
Spot on
💯 agreed
I'm not a fan of national populism and I'm generally pro-immigration, but it's silly to conflate - as your comment does - regulated and unregulated immigration. It's also really foolish and actually extremely arrogant to dismiss the question of immigration as a red herring when vast numbers of the British and European public believe it to be a very serious matter indeed. It is by now abundantly obvious that failing to address normal people's concerns about immigration honestly just creates a vacuum which national populists capitalise on - if you want to combat national populism, start promoting honest - and moderate - conversations about immigration which don't shy away from the inconvenient truths... Failing that, the likes of Farage, Le pen, and Wilders will only gain more support and more power.
@@Bailiol I only dismiss the issues of the small boat immigration as a red herring. When compared to immigration as a whole. I am personally a fan of national populism. I can fully see where you’re coming from on everything though. Think maybe you read my comment from the wrong angle? Agree with you mostly. Perhaps our end goals are different though?

@@jonathanbower863 exactly, a choice between two almost identical perspectives, the system is rigged, which is why almost 45% of eligible voters will not bother...Western democracy😭😭😭
Considering that Reform UK has overtaken the Conservatives, why weren't Reform UK included in the debates, or this programme?
Cause the bbc are government lackies and do what they are told and the government don't want Nigel in power..... corruption at its finest just like channel 4 getting an actor to pretend to be a member of reform UK and say racist shit to smear the reform campaign....nice try but I'm still voting 🇬🇧 Reform
Why do you think 🙄
It's because Reform haven't overtaken the Conservatives. They only have in some polls but vast majority still show Conservatives as ahead of Reform and it is also because Conservatives is the current government and Sunak is trying to defend it from the Opposition, it's how it's always worked.
@@jimbob5144 Shhh! Let them enjoy their conspiracy theory!

I think it’s more a case that the BBC don’t want to give Farage any airtime. They’ve already had to apologise to him over remarks they made about him. So much for what is supposedly meant to be an impartial organisation!
@@Spar217 I’m from Wales and I won’t be voting for reform. Infact they don’t stand a chance in Wales or Scotland. However, I agree with you about the political system in the UK and it’s definitely time for it to be reformed.
Good question? The reality is neither Starmer or Sunak will debate with Nigel Ferage. Reform are polling ahead of the cons so he should be able to. He'd wipe the floor with them. After listening to Nigel speak so well these past weeks without notes, with facts dates and figures flying from his mouth I can see why they are running scared of debating with Nigel Ferage 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
It's a sad country if those two are the best we can get!
Yeah, Sunak was allowed again to just talk over everyone.
Yep. BBC cooing that this was Sunak being "aggressive" - nope, that was just Sunak being an arrogant public school brat.
It would be nice too see both of them lose their seats.
This country is doomed with these two.

BRICS+ do not care about ideals, religion, or trade conditions. Nations can evolve at their own pace. Better than thou no longer works in the new world order
Western entitled affluence has met an adversary. A more just world where might can no longer exploit.
Do sanctions and stealing money not resonate desperation? Are threats and demonetization hollow? Do western pious ideals have a nefarious history, one that BRICS+ is offering a different, more just future.

@@partyringspartyit isn't, because it doesn't happen. Virtue signalling is an issue, though
@@RogerMellie-yk3gw As a trans person, it very much does happen. Within the LGBT community, we're the most targeted group for physical and sexual harrassment and violence. I've personally been targeted on several occasions, I've been harrassed on the street, I've had people throw rocks at me, I've had people scream slurs, and a group of people threatened to stab me. And that's in a relatively tolerant university town.
Trans women specifically are the most likely group of people to be sexually assaulted / raped. From 2022 to 2023 in England alone hate crime against trans people rose by 11%.
@@VacantIsland hate crime is a subjective term. Everything is considered a hate crime these days. And it seems strange that someone would throw rocks at you. What were the circumstances there?
Concerning sexual assault, it's much more likely for it to happen to a teenage female, than to a man that identifies as a women. For obvious reasons.
There's nothing wrong with being trans, but it isn't part if the LGB community. They concern sexuality, not identity. Two different things. No need to group them together.
@@RogerMellie-yk3gw "Hate crime is a subjective term," sure. Lets leave out that term then, and just consider violent crime, sexual assault, and property vandalism. Trans people are stll over 4 times more likely to experience one of these crimes than cis people.
You're also wrong about sexual assault being more likely for cis women than trans women. Look at almost any source, and they'd tell you that trans women are actually significantly more likely to be sexually assaulted or harrassed. Over half of trans people have experienced sexual harrassment or assault at some point in ther lives.
You say there's nothing wrong with being trans, yet you also said that trans women are "men than identify as women" and that it "isn't part of the 'LGB' community" because "they concern sexuality, not identity." So I think you're just trying to convince yourself that you think there's nothing wrong with it, when clearly everything you've just said indicates that you don't.
An ex-lawyer vs an ex-banker. It doesn't get much worse than that.
This has no real bearing on what Stamer is going to do or how as history has shown all too well.
Why didn't the presenter pull up the tories about the lies he been saying about Labour taxes when he put them 26 times highest
Also why did she keep interrupting Starmer but not Sunak, or call him up on repeatedly saying Starmer wasn't answering a question he had literally just answered seconds before.
It’s the BBC! Like Kuensberg and Bruce their presenters are biased in favour of the Tories every time.

I'd love to know why immigration and migration has suddenly become a big issue. For years they've allowed people to come into this country, not speak a word of English, taking jobs away from the Brits and allowing them free reign to commit carnage on our soil. For me, it's too late to start talking about borders. Our country has already changed to accomodate other culture's at the the sacrifice of British tradition and its values.
It's beyond the tipping point, people are finally having enough that they're willing to take the labels on the chin to sort it

@@ExcessumGaming I agree that there's much bigger problems on a day to day basis (pot holes for instance) but the gender issue is huge because it represents the difference between objective reality (there are 2 sexes, a minute number of DSD [Differences in Sex Development] people, and some people who have gender dysphoria) vs ideological beliefs ("some people are born into the wrong gender").
This is enlightenment rationality (the scientific method) vs the emperors new clothes. Most people simply aren't aware of the fundamental importance of this subject because they haven't read enough or have just believed the propaganda coming from the "be kind" brigade.
There are 3 genders and always has been. Honestly, I was shocked to learn it. But it is true.
@@yeahbutytho126yeah you’re absolutely tapped. Don’t vote please.
@@formulaic78 Yes and women aren't so much worried about whether you call yourself a woman or not as much as whether you are likely to use that to attack them.
My sister and a friend have both been attacked in women's toilets by men who sneaked in and toilets are a favourite attack spot for perverts who know they can pin you in a cubicle without the risk of any decent men being there to intervene.
It would almost make more sense to make all toilets open to all so perverts don't feel they can avoid consequences from men who aren't into letting perverts rape women in cubicles than to just let in the nicer innocent trans ones and the ones who use the trans issue to gain access to women but if you suggest that then everyone suddenly remembers how dangerous that could be for women because there won't be decent men there all the time to protect them and anyway what woman wants a man hanging around while she is peeing and crapping and changing a tampon etc.?
It is hard enough to go to the toilet in a public setting full of women as it is. WE hate it. Girls go trough years of waiting until they get home to have a pooh because they can't relax enough to let one out at school which doesn not help with concentrating in class (ask all the women you know about this if hey haven't told you because you have to feel prvate and safe to do that and not like everyone is outside the cubicle - they will be peeing in the bushes and getting kidney disease from holding pee in with boys or trans girls in school toilets.
Allowing biological men who claim to be women into toilets means perverts will pretend that they are trans to gain access and don't even have to sneak in and can wander in anytime they like. Also this makes people blame trans people who would be harmless but of course they are just people and some of them would not be harmless anyway like in any other group and would be stronger than most women and a real danger to them if they are given access to women's toilets.
I think it's time we had single toilets anyway in a so called civilised society with their own doors in the middle of shopping centres instead of a big room with some little doors on cubicles etc. - Individual toilets would be private and in public settings where you can't get away with trying to break in etc.. We have some in my local town in the main carpark but they are so filthy so often and full of needles etc. that it isn't safe to use them either. WE are at the stage in society where you need people to patrol and check around toilets etc..
I am so sick of things going to shit. Where are women supposed to be able to take their kids to all go to the loo together when they need with buggies etc.? M and S used to be fairly clean and no junkie needles but the loos are very cramped and the queues are often very long. We have enough to worry about when you can find a usable toilet without having to start worrying about perverts wandering in to do as they please on top of all that.
Why’s the Conservative Party continuously talks about cutting taxes when taxes has actually been going up under their watch but they keep accusing labour of wanting to raise taxes?
I don’t really get this
Can someone explain better please 🙏🏽
We had a global pandemic and an energy crisis. Do you want starving families or tax increases ?
The Tories are narcissistic every thing they do or have done they project onto the credible opposition, hence the constant accusations by the Tories towards labour about tax rises
Because Labour are the party of bloated public sector (tax funded jobs), and Tories are the party of lower tax, less government. As proven by their income tax threshold introduced that freed people from paying tax on the first £12000 they earn a year.

Not media influence, not lobbyists and not highly vocal fringe groups that disrupt our day to day lives to diminish our democratic system.
Neither party represents the citizens!
They never have done really . Follow the money 💷
@consultant2678 and Reform does? What about their manifesto that will get rid of equal right and human rights especially for the LGBTQA+ community, how does that represent the citizens?
@@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplay that’s not true ! Give me a break another ridiculous comment. Just like the fake news reporting by Channel 4 with their hired actor pretending to be a Reform rep!
@@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplay You should join Ch 4 they also like lying making up nonsense!
@consultant2678 All I'm saying is that if you read Reform's manifesto, it states that they'll get rid of diversity and equality as well as get rid of human rights, basically I wanna know is how it benefits every citizen if Reform goes into power especially if a lot of the UK citizens are LGBTQA+ and how their equal rights and human rights are potentially at risk of being stripped away, that's all I wanna know
Who wants to live in the UK. WHAT A MESS!!
I never heard so empty and boring debates
I cant understand why anyone watches the BBC
I can't understan why anyone is still giving the Biased Broadcasting Corporation it's money.
@@nightowl7459 Not me
Obviously u watched this debate somehow on BBC........can u at least give them credit
@@discoverayoutubechannelwit2510 It's a capital U if you can't be bothered writing that very long word "you" but there's no indication here that anyone actually watched the alleged "debate" just that we can't understand how anyone still watches or in my case, pays them for their extremely poor value service.
@@nightowl7459 Actually, no it isn't because, following your own logic it would be 'You.' So, Your sentence should read, "It's a capital U if You can't..." Oh, and you missed a comma between 'watches' and 'or.' As an organisation the BBC is a singular so the correct grammar is "pays it for..." Apart from that...
Wet fish show
Net migration being so high is responsible for literally every issue we have. Filling up our schools. Roads. Houses Nhs and welfare system. So now we get tax rises to pay for them all!!!!
It's not. Conservatives got in power, cut spending, cut growth and that's why everything sucks.
Absolute clowns get them out vote reform
Fvcking hell, we have a border 😱
They are destroying the country
just a vicious rumour......
Bbc bs bs crap
Simple : Oxbridge has clearly failed British politics!
The Aliens tagline has never been more appropriate:
"Whoever wins, we lose."
I was gonna reference that Treehouse of Horror episode where whoever someone votes for, people are doomed plus when reading each party's manifestos, they show things that can positively impact people and some that negatively impact people and the biggest talk that's been going on in the lead up to the election is revolving around the LGBTQA+ rights and how each party is talking about them, people are wandering how it'll affect the next few years for the LGBTQA+ community, like will it be good that the LGBTQA+ community keep the basic human rights they fought for decades or will it be bad in that the LGBTQA+ community get their basic human rights taken away.
I just wish that people could get along with each other in this country no matter who or what people identify as instead of hating someone just because they identify as something other than heterosexual
Both the same both wef disciples .
Why are they ignoring immigration
Because they fear it!
They talked about it in this debate
Where’s the full version?
Presenter referred to the five other parties' views in an earlier debate but only four elicited this time around. No rep asked from Reform.
Is this because they want to scrap the licence fee?
This is a debate that neither of them won, & tbh, most voters have already made their mind up anyway
Clash over what they like but reform is coming so wasteful time
Wow. Reform and their predicted one or two seats. What a change. Lol
@@RogerMellie-yk3gwpredicted 18 now actually, a huge increase in just a week, time to brush up on your knowledge and face facts.
@@jaresteph Time to brush up yours. They aren't predicted 18 seats at all. That's absolute nonsense. They're predicted 2 seats. And they'd be lucky to get that.
@@RogerMellie-yk3gwyougov predicting 18 / 20 seats, far more reliable source than whatever you're looking at
The gentleman in the audience should go and contest. Both are qualified in their own right.
Its like watching Thunderbirds
Without the strings 😂😂
so where was REFORM for this IMPORTANT debate???
BBC’s ‘impartiality’ 💀
BBC won't show reform Big tech cutting them
They can't get 5 percent votes , same like greens..
Ignore them
Fun fact: Google has been instructed by the current government to censor reform campaigning from search results. Using the ECHR human rights breaking "On-line Safety bill", created and passed by both the Tories and Labour.
BBC won't even recognise that Reform UK are a political party 🙄
2 very silly men playing at politics for the World Economic Forum. What a joke!
What is it with the WEF. They live off of donations and like the sound of their own voices. It was Sunak’s father in law who sat on their panel.
They are not "men" in my eyes.
They are "bug men" in my eyes
@joancooley1387 World Economic Forum is a very dangerous organisation. Remember "you will own nothing and be happy"? Same as World Health Organisation, very dangerous and definitely not about health at all.
What we learned was neither will do anything about immigration Sunak thinks it a good idea to take benefits from the disabled because he knows better than GPS
I did read about how Sunak was to strip disabled people of their benefits and to get them into work, I get ADP for my ADHD and Autism as those are my disabilities and it has affected me in looking and applying for any type of job in the real world to the point that I've been declared legally unfit for work so I have to be on Universal Credit for the rest of my life all because of the circumstances I have, even if I'm trying to figure out a way to find a side hustle that won't impact my benefits but I have zero luck
One of the reasons why the UK economy is so bad is foreign policy. Foreign policy gets a lot of attention and a lot of money is invested in it, but no leader pays attention to their Internal issues.
It is a pity that the government always pays less attention to the position of working-class families.
People who are living illegally in this country should be sent to their own country, not to Uganda.
Sadly, sometimes leaders talk too much and it's only brainwashed but people understand the hypocrisy of talk. 👀😡
We don't care about petty tax cuts. The country is falling apart. In the words of Armando Iannucci "Just get the shit out of the rivers" we just want things to work
and net migration being so high is the cause of literally every issue we have !!!!!!!!! You want more taxes so we can pay for even more people coming in and fill up our schools. Nhs. Roads and houses ?
🤡🤡Choose a clown form these 2 is not democracy
Write “I do not consent” through every name on the ballot paper
It's all the Tories have got, so we've been hearing that a lot.
@Dan-zs8pk Listening to too much Farage I see. Immigration is not the link to every one of our issues. There's countries with much larger populations than ours which have perfectly working roads, health, education etc.
Think immigration is too high? Government issue. Want less boats? Government issue. Roads not fixed? Government issue. Etc.
If Rishi doesn't want boat migrants "on our streets" why have they been allowed into our country in the first place?
Because the labour party and the Lords won't allow Rishi to rake action
Because we keep interfering in their countries and we keep arming their countries so they can fight each other and we the unfortunate tax payers have to pay for it when we can't even afford to pay our energy and mortgage bills.
@@neelamacwan7670rwanda clearly was a fail
@neelamacwan7670 haven't the conservatives been in power since 2010? Dont they have a majority in government?
@@neelamacwan7670 take action my arse, they get put up in four star hotels off of my tax money!
That's why we pay for our TV licence so that we can watch only two parties in our great democracy.
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Cancel the brainwashing tax and report the BBC and their threatening letters to the relevant people 👍 defund the scummy BBC now
Because they sadly are the only two the matter. We need PR
@@phoenixwright1296really why?
Why are you still paying your TV licence to get a narrow view of the world.. one decided for you....?
TV Licence nothing to do with Proportional Representation, or the lack of it.
Grab your MP, whoever it turns out to be, and pester them into supporting PR.
It's hard to decide which one of the two is the worse for the UK...
Neither of these two are leaders, the U.K is stuck between a rock and a hard place. The state of the country and this is the choice the electorate has.
It’s obvious… YOU VOTE…….. REFORM …… if you want real change …!
Vote for a political party with absolutely no track record? Really?
@@Brian-om2hh it’s not as bad in voting for parties that do not deliver, plus over 17 million voted for Brexit, the Labour leader tried everything to stop it, block it. Second referendum the list goes on SO WHAT is to lose….?? A pair of globalists standing before you… NO THANK YOU….
@@Brian-om2hhoh okay fine ... Let's just stick with these two shite parties for the rest of our countries future. Such an ignorant comment. New parties popping up everywhere across Europe. You want politics to evolve for change, not stagnate.
@@Brian-om2hhif something looks stupid and it doesn’t work then its stupid
Vote Reform. Vote nigel farage
How could you become an audience member for this? I was on BBCQT when that was in Nottingham, but couldn't find a way to apply for this?
vote Reform UK don't believe the BBC or the media, vote with the people.a vote for reform is a vote for reform.
That nutjob will just make matters worse. He wants to lower taxes for crying out loud. In a time when we are the lowest in the G20 for corporation tax @%25. He wants 90 billion in cuts. What bones does he cut cos the meat was slashed off by the cons 10 years ago. There are no more or next to no more "efficiency" cuts to be made. The roads are full of potholes, NHS waiting lists of weeks and months. Taxes need to be raised, not lowered. And it is the corporations that will need to pul their weight as they have been allowed to rip us off for two years now
@zzzpip so basically, we should vote to go back to the 1950s so that only white heterosexuals can get rights, and anyone who isn't heterosexual can get sod all?
This is the bbc -- so forgive me if I go and check this actually happened -- with a real news channel
i only watch fox because they tell truth, vote for emporer trump and he will sort out the uk, uk is small place its easy for trump to fix
Only two choices?
F the licence fee.
Where can i see the full debate??
Where are the leaders in this debate? Did the bbc forget to invite them?
Nigel should have been in the debate.
He would've livened it up and injected a bit of sense.
Lib dems are predicted to get triple of the seats of reform. Why invite forage?
Why not upload the full thing on CZcams rather than BBC iplayer? CZcams has a comment section and it’s a good way for the public to call out lies. Especially considering the fact that the UK parliament has basically been Shakespeare in the park for the upper classes for the past few years. 📘shutdown!
Why do our leaders try to appease the monority but ignore the majority.
This is now a state of emergency. Your country needs you to do your duty and vote REFORM. Say no to the 2 party political merry go round of corruption, lies and broken promises.
@@willharris2278 so we should all vote for a party who wants to get rid of equality and human rights for people who aren't heterosexual?
The Conservatives wasted so much money on Rwanda, the French border, COVID-19 PPE etc. I could go on and on. Sunak is talking rubbish, why did he mention about Taliban? Sunak is such a liar.
Ukraine ?
Britain will unite with REFORM, NF is a Leader and not a puppet on strings..
No wonder Britain is broken…
We’ve had enough of both parties.
Netanyahu makes these 2 look like Wallace & Gromit
Vote reform
Starmer was right about immigration being highest even tho labour opened the borders.
Sunak was right about labour raising taxes and not being able to do anything about immigration.
My conclusion....vote REFORM 4th july 🎉🎉🎉
Labor opened the borders? In what 2009? Illegal immigration exploded under the cons not labour. Labour raised taxes? How? There are people almost at voting age who have never even lived under labour.
How come the debate isn't on iPlayer?
I am not british but one thing is concerning that British is really losing its charm and other countries immigrants are only making the circumstances worse.
"Maybe if the Prime Minister would listen, he won't be so out of touch with the country".
Yeah.
Clash of the tosser's!
You don't need an apostrophe for non-possessive nouns.
The tosser's what?
where can I watch the full debate?
We're doomed folks with these jokers
Reformmmmm
A complete waste of time between two Party Leaders that I certainly won't be voting for
and nor will many others. Where was Nigel, who is drawing big crowds and getting among
the public unlike Starmer and Sunak who are both avoiding the public, preferring useless
photo opportunities.
im voting for monster loony ravy party guy, farage is too mainstream he supports tony blair and lockdown
@@drinkwater9891 They all voted for lockdown. It just took some of them a while to wake up.

How can labour have a leader like starmer how can they think that labour voters would want a leader like him what has happened here
What a Joke.....Farage would destroy them both on all these issues.
Can't stand Sunak. He is so annoying
And you don't think Starmer is? 😅😅😅
Starker is just as bad
I need to put them person this two back hand leader put in behind the bars.
Watching 2 losers slagging it out with irrelivent policies was boring.
If Nige was there, it would have been worth watching.
No response from Reform? Farage for PM
Hello Nigerian bot
Fararse couldn't get elected 7 times, let's see how he does on his 8th try.
