Rishi Lashes Out! 'Starmer Hasn't Courage To Face Me On Television'

RISHI Sunak has attacked Keir Starmer for not having the "courage" to face him in a series of televised election debates.

The PM has thrown down the gauntlet to the "spineless" Labour leader by challenging him to debate on TV every single week until election day. The Prime Minister said: "There are big issues at stake in this election.

"I want to debate these issues with Sir Keir Starmer. But he doesn't want to because he doesn't have a plan and doesn't have the courage to say what he wants to do."

The Tories believe Sir Keir fears he will sabotage his prospects in front of millions, despite previously telling his rival to "bring it on".

Labour was last night criticised for failing to accept the challenge. Conservative Party chairman Richard Holden told the Daily Express that voters deserve the chance to scrutinise the opposition leader.

Backbone

He said: "It's no surprise spineless Sir Keir Starmer is now chickening out of debates that he publicly promised to do just months ago.

"It's time for Sir Keir to grow a backbone.

The public deserve to hear and scrutinise what the man who wants to be our Prime Minister has to say before he changes his mind, again."
