NSTworld: “You’re going to sell our national health service out to the United States and big pharma,” JeremyCorbyn said. BorisJohnson Brexit

The prime-time event, held in Manchester and broadcast on ITV, presented an opportunity for a potentially game-changing moment in an election campaign so far characterised as lacklustre.
