Election debate live: Boris Johnson challenged over 'selling off' NHS, as Corbyn interrogated over Brexit in TV showdown
Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn have gone head-to-head in the first ever two-way election debate between a prime minister and leader of the opposition.
The clash between the two leading Downing Street candidates began on ITV at 8pm, with the debate chaired by Julie Etchingham.
The pair battled over Brexit, Scottish independence and austerity, with one particularly standout moment coming as Mr Corbyn declared the PM was “going to sell our National Health Service to the United States and to big pharma”.
Mr Johnson prepared for the debate by visiting a boxing gym in Manchester, while Mr Corbyn posted a video of himself getting a haircut.
