Summary

Swing voters from across England say they prefer Rishi Sunak to Keir Starmer as prime minister in the latest Times Radio Focus Group.


Matt is joined by James Johnson of JL Partners to discuss their views on the party leaders, the Budget, and whether Boris Johnson is a 'liar liar pants on fire'.


Plus columnists Manveen Rana and Matthew Parris discuss Johnson's partygate evidence, Rishi Sunak's decision to publish his tax return, and Keir Starmer's habit of making big promises.
