General election 2019: Reaction following leaders' TV debate - BBC News
Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn square off in a live BBC debate, less than a week out from polling day.
As the leaders gave their closing speeches, the spin room noise level began to rise - and as soon as it was a wrap, the scurrying began.

The desks for journalists are laid out like tight little warrens, and every reporter, politician and spinner is navigating their way through, hoping not to trip up and cause a different kind of headline.

We now have big names from both Labour and the Tories who want to be in front of the camera and sell their guy as the top dog.

The first (and loudest) row was between Labour's shadow international trade secretary, Barry Gardiner, and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab over Brexit.

All the crews gathered around the face-off, as one shouted and another rolled their eyes. It's worth watching our coverage on the BBC News channel for the full glory.

The next was Tory Nicky Morgan and Labour's Baroness Chakrabati, who, while friendly off camera, laid into each other on air.

It was quite a moment to watch, as the two women spoke over each other to accuse the other of interrupting...

But that is the nature of a spin room. You want to be first, fast and furious, fighting for your candidate, and telling voters who won what they just watched.

And it isn't over yet. We have spotted some more people heading in.

Excuse us while we go and see what Mr Gardiner has to say to Health Secretary Matt Hancock...
