46 - A noisy debate, and "Blair: The movie"

With just a week to go until the results of the election are known, Nigel and Sarah discuss the latest developments in the ongoing betting scandal, and review the final head-to-head TV debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer. Noises off threatened to distract from the event, and for once Sunak seemed to score some points at his opponents' expense. Meanwhile back in 1997, the political mudslinging had become particularly intense as polling day approached, with John Major calling Tony Blair a liar, and both parties condemning each others' tactics. We also take a look at a set-piece interview with Blair on News at Ten, and a lavish Labour Party election broadcast which became known as Blair -The Movie.
