The two main contenders to be Britain’s next prime minister, Conservative leader Rishi Sunak and Labour’s Keir Starmer, are set to engage in a televised debate. Sunak aims to improve his party's standing, while Starmer seeks to solidify his position as the frontrunner.
The debate follows Brexit advocate Nigel Farage's announcement that he will run for Parliament with the Reform U.K. party, posing a challenge to Sunak's election prospects. Farage, a prominent figure in the 2016 Brexit decision, is targeting socially conservative older voters that the Conservatives have been courting.
