Your bite-size run-down of yesterday's key events

Head to Head

Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch and her Shadow Cabinet counterparty Jonathan Reynolds went head-to-head in a lunch-time debate, clashing on Brexit, green energy and worker reforms. The dispute over Brexit came a day after reports emerged that UK officials, EU diplomats and even senior Labour figures believe Starmer will struggle to deliver a significantly different trending relationship unless he relaxes his pledge to keep the UK out of the EU’s customs union and single market.

Farage under Fire

Farage continued to face widespread criticism for his egregious remarks that the West provoked Putin into invading Ukraine. As our CEO Naomi Smith said,” Britain is united against Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and there is no place in our parliament for those who make excuses for aggressive war. People must vote tactically <[link removed]> to keep Britain united and keep those who seek to divide us away from power.”

Labour Landslide

Labour attempted to downplay the barrage of polls suggesting they’re on track for a historic landslide on 4 July. Anxious that widespread assumptions of a crushing victory could lead to some people not bothering to vote at all, Labour desperately pushed the message that the result isn’t guaranteed unless people cast their ballots.

Gamble-gate

Speaking at the launch of the Scottish Conservatives’ manifesto in Edinburgh, Rishi Sunak confirmed the Conservatives are conducting their own internal inquiry into the betting scandal engulfing the party, saying that the party “will act” if its own inquiries find wrongdoing. The PM also declared he had never placed a bet on politics while an MP. If you cast your mind back to that interview with Piers Morgan in which he bet £1,000 that deportation flights would take off before the Election, you’ll see the Prime Minister’s claim doesn’t quite stand up…and not for the first time.

Sun Special

As the election campaign enters its final stretch, Sunak and Starmer endured one of their last big media set-piece moments of the campaign on the Sun’s Never Mind the Ballots. The Prime Minister brought his now trademark tetchiness with him as he vocalised his anger at, well, you know the thing you just read about, as well as again attempting to draw painfully tenuous link between Liz Truss and...Keir Starmer? On that note, the Labour leader was yet again being forced to account for his own predecessor, before answering more nuanced questions on his migration policy by an audience that perhaps felt it was already the final vetting stage of the hiring process for PM.
