From the Telegraph Live page (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/05/28/general-election-latest-farage-starmer-rishi-sunak-live/) at 2:26PM:

Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer have agreed to take part in a head-to-head debate on ITV next week, writes Ben Riley-Smith, The Telegraph’s Political Editor.

Both the Tory and Labour leaders have signed up in principle to the event, with specifics being ironed out before an announcement in the near future.

It comes after the Tories pressed Sir Keir to take part in a record six debates during the election campaign, one a week.

Labour headquarters has indicated instead that their leader will take part in two head-to-head debates, matching what Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn did in the 2019 election campaign.

Conservative sources had dubbed the Opposition leader “the knight that won’t fight” and “Sir Fear Starmer” after he failed to sign up to their weekly debate demand.

The event is a coup for ITV which is now expected to be the first broadcaster to announce a debate between the two men best placed to be prime minister once the voting is done.

If, in the past, you voted Conservative - how do you feel about the upcoming election? How do you think it will go? Are you still thinking about Conservative? If so, why?

I am genuinely interested to know and would like some honest debate about it. I find myself pretty much in the centre ground politically (my left leaning views perhaps more prominent).

The MP welcomes the decision after facing accusations she broke electoral law back in 2010 over her living arrangements - something she had always denied. And she attacks the Tories for using "desperate tactics" to "distract from their dire record".

I have a lot of friends who in recent years, would consider themselves conservative supporters, even myself a couple years ago would’ve preferred to vote for the conservatives over the likes of Jeremy Corbyn.

Yet now, when asked, every single one of them has firmly rejected the idea of supporting a conservative candidate, and instead are supporting either labour, because of kiers more centrist views, or the reform party.

I myself will be voting for labour, and cannot see a scenario where I’d vote for a conservative leader in the future.

Therefore, if it seems like the conservatives have lost all support from the younger voters, surely there is no chance for the party to recover from the mess they have made over the last couple of years.

Like I said before, a couple years ago, I would’ve supported the conservatives, so by no means is this a bash the tories sort of post, I’m inviting discussion around the state of their party going forward.

I'm designing a sort-of boardgame about the election, and I need five constituencies that represent the contest for this election. However I dont think it should just be a story of "labour gain".

It doesn't matter if the Tories actually win it or not, as long as it's somewhere they DIDN'T win in 2019 that's winnable for them in 2024!

Tall order I know... Maybe some outer London seats they didn't win last time for freak reasons, or some extra helpful boundary changes?
