James Cleverly thinks Rishi Sunak 'beat' Keir Starmer in Leaders' Special | LBC

After Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer took part in a Leaders Special, Iain Dale speaks to Home Secretary, James Cleverly, to get his reaction.

While YouGov poll found 64 per cent of viewers thought Starmer came out on top, Cleverly stresses that he thought his party leader was victorious.

He also responds to his Tory colleague Grant Shapps' warning of a Labour ‘supermajority.’

The Defence Secretary claims The Conservatives are fighting to prevent Starmer winning a majority even bigger than Labour’s 1997 landslide victory.

“I don’t think it’s unreasonable to discuss that prospect. That said, it’s not changing my behaviour," Cleverly admits.

Oh look; one failed Tory interviewing another failed Tory. And listening to Cleverly complaining about a politician indulging in word salad, is a bit rich.

[ThomasKing]

The Tories know they are finished but for some reason they can't seem to accept it. It's like watching the Titanic.

[Gilan]

With candidates like Cleverly you can see why they’re so far behind

[jeffworthington]

What is James cleverly talking about, did he watch the same debate.

[MartinRich]

The delusion is strong with this one...

[Rancid-wdty]

Sunak was so bad I thought he, d been Rohypnoled, Cleverley knows all about that.

[leolion]

one thing for sure is that James Cleverly has no relationship with the word Clever.

[jananders]

James Cleverly living up to his misnomer yet again.

[brianferguson]

"Failed Tory" discussing "Failed Tory" with another "Failed Tory"
Hilarious 😂😂😂

[hgmet]

When was the last time 'Cleverly' was clever about anything?

[J_Bone]

Funny how he thinks the public deserves something now

[andrewsmith]

😂😂😂😂 i'm not a fan of starmer, but how can he say in public that Sunak won 😂😂😂

[caffs]

Am i the only person that never gets a candidate knock on my door?

[nigelballard-mh]

This is pointless. 2 tories interviewing each other.

[jasoncooper]

Says the party who put up Tax 25 times

[catherinemartin]

Cleverly not being very clever. Vote these clowns 🤡 out

[delaPole]

Failed Tory candidate interviews failed Tory cabinet minister. Yawn.

[quoman]

Would have been hilarious if he said Starmer was the better man.

[GeoffV-kh]

Snap poll in the previous debate was very close. This time Starmer won clearly. Tories always deny the polls.

[chrispygingerpie]

Can we have a Tory interview where they don’t just blame most of there issue with “oh but labour”… talk yourselves up not others down.
