UK Political Leaders Face the Heat on BBC Question Time Election Special

In a significant pre-election event, leaders from the UK's major political parties, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (Conservative), Sir Keir Starmer (Labour), Sir Ed Davey (Liberal Democrats), and John Swinney (SNP), participated in a two-hour BBC Question Time special in York. They were grilled by host Fiona Bruce and a live studio audience on a range of pressing issues. Ed Davey faced tough questions over the Post Office scandal, while an audience member criticized his campaign approach as 'horseplay on TV'. The leaders aimed to address public concerns and outline their party's policies ahead of the upcoming election, with each leader facing a mix of scrutiny and support from the audience.
