Media Mole's complete guide to the TV debates and big interviews in the run-up to the UK's 2024 General Election.

The British public will head to the polls on July 4 to vote in the first general election since 2019 - and in the weeks ahead, every political party will be doing their best to secure your tick on the ballot paper.
