Hello and welcome to a special edition of Calling Peston from Media City in Salford,

where in the last few seconds Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson have just walked off stage

after going head to head in the first ever election debate between two men who would be prime minister. We're in the spin

room backstage, whereas we speak, Conservative and Labour politicians have begun the process

of telling us journalists that our man won, no, our man won, no, our man won, hence the name

Spin Room. In this special episode of Calling Peston, we will have reaction from the Tory Party

chairman James Cleverley and Labour's shadow

equality minister, Dorbottler.

And we're also getting a snap poll from you gov on who won tonight's debate.

And of course, the podcast is called Calling Peston.

So we will be getting reaction from our political editor, Robert Peston.

But first, here's a quick highlight from tonight's head-to-head

between Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson.

Are you going to campaign for leave or remain? I want to bring people together. Therefore,

there will be a referendum in which that decision will be made by the British people.

You're going to sell our national service out to the United States and big farmer. This is an absolute invention. It is

completely untrue. Is the monarchy fit for purpose? Jeremy Corby.

It needs a bit of improvement. The institution of the monarchy is beyond reproach.

Mr. Corbyn, I didn't hear him say he was going to rule out a referendum on Scotland.

Did you?

It's perfectly clear that the price of Nicola Sturgeon's support for the chaotic coalition

that he would comprise is a second referendum.
