U.K. Leader Debate Unsuspected Results

•  In the first live television debate between opposition leaders, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson just edged out a lead over Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn, according to a poll.
•  But that’s being seen as a win for Corbyn, who was expected to be beaten more comprehensively. 
•  Corbyn received applause and landed verbal punches on Johnson, who struggled to win over an audience that laughed and groaned as he tried to steer the topic back to Brexit.
• The pound edged lower following the spectacle.
