We're live in Salford for a TV first.
It's Boris Johnson versus Jeremy Corbyn.
So the first TV debate of the 2019 general election
has just finished.
So who won?
Well, the answer is nobody particularly.
The whole event had the feel of a zero-sum game to it.
Neither candidate to be the UK's next prime minister
scored any particular points or made headway
in their campaigns.
Both bought out generic soundbites
we've heard many times before.
And, I know you'll not want me to say this,
but we need to get Brexit done...
So that's a no, then.
...in order... in order to deliver a priority.
They didn't engage in any proper debate about policy
or any arguments that moved the campaign forward.
Can you rule it out in...
We've witnessed nine years of chaotic coalitions already.
OK.
The first half of the debate, hosted on ITV on Tuesday
evening, was dominated by Brexit.
That was much more comfortable territory
for Boris Johnson, who has his clear slogan of getting Brexit
done by January the 31st before moving on
to other domestic priorities.
He managed to win applause from the crowd with his message
there and his attacks on his rival, who
still hasn't said how he wants Brexit to be resolved.
And we still don't know, by the way, what he proposes to do...
OK.
...nor whether he is in favour of it or against it.
All right.
Jeremy Corbyn's policy is to have another referendum
and let the British people decide
if they want to stay in the EU or leave with his deal.
And he was attacked repeatedly by Boris Johnson
for that matter.
We will have a referendum.
We will have to go to the nation and we
will abide by that result.
After the break, things moved on to the NHS,
which is more comfortable territory for the Labour
leader.
And yes, he did manage to get some good points scored
about the privatisation of the health service
and cuts under the Conservative government.
You're going to sell out to the United States.
But the attacks were blunted by Mr Johnson's promise of more
cash and more hospitals.
So where does this leave the campaign?
This is really the beginning of the 2019 general election
campaign.
It's been rather slow so far with not much movement
from either side.
But Boris Johnson is a clear 10 to 15 points ahead from Jeremy
Corbyn, and the Labour leader needed to get some momentum
tonight.
And he didn't find it.
He didn't score any blows.
He didn't get any big applauses.
So in the matter of this campaign,
it feels like Boris Johnson might have just about emerged
on top.
