The Labour leader said he wanted to fight an election on the Tories' economic record and said it was “nonsense” to suggest he wanted to duck TV debates with Rishi Sunak (https://www.itv.com/news/topic/rishi-sunak), adding "bring it on".
A Labour government would want to cut taxes, Sir Keir said, but he insisted that reversing flagging growth would be the first priority if he takes power at the next general election.
In his new year’s speech at the National Composites Centre at Bristol and Bath Science Park, Sir Keir said: “We don’t just expect an election on the economy, we want an election on the economy and we’re ready for that fight.

Starmer will wipe the floor with Sunak in a one on one debate, the list of failings he and the Conservative Party is cringeworthy.
The NHS would be a good starting point, followed by the fiasco of Liz Trusts short government stint bringing down her government.
