In the final leaders' special of the election campaign, Green co-leader Adrian Ramsay and Reform UK's Nigel Farage faced a half-hour of questions from a BBC Question Time audience in Birmingham. The two leaders tackled immigration, tax, Brexit, and their parties' candidates, showcasing a distinct difference in their responses to the studio audience.

Adrian Ramsay, representing the Green party, frequently started his answers with phrases like "good question," although some of his responses were met with skepticism. On the other hand, Nigel Farage of Reform UK adopted a more combative approach, receiving applause for critical questions. When questioned about why some Reform candidates were still standing, Farage's response of "I have no idea!" drew laughter from the room.

Farage seemed to relish the challenge from the Birmingham audience, refusing to apologize for mistakes made by some candidates and activists from his party. The Reform leader emphasized that any candidate who had party support withdrawn will still appear on the ballot paper in their party's name.

Both Ramsay and Farage found themselves on the defensive when confronted about contentious comments made by their election candidates, largely on social media. Fiona Bruce, the show's presenter, pressed Ramsay about Green candidates accused of making extreme remarks on the Gaza conflict. While Ramsay assured that he did not support those views and concerns would be independently investigated, he stopped short of further clarification. Meanwhile, Farage appeared to withdraw support for one of his candidates live on TV, declaring he wanted "nothing to do with them."

During the discussions, Ramsay highlighted the need to improve public transport in the UK, acknowledging that he owned a hybrid car due to the lack of charging infrastructure in his terraced house. He received applause when advocating for the railways to be brought back under public ownership. However, when asked about the cost of the Green Party's proposed scrappage scheme to remove fossil-fuel vehicles from the roads by 2035, Ramsay couldn't specify the details.

Both leaders did not hesitate to express their opinions on the recent US presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Ramsay expressed concern about the prospect of Trump returning to the White House, particularly after Biden's performance. Farage, on the other hand, deemed Biden a weak president and argued that Trump would make the world a safer place.

Ramsay also faced questions about the Green Party's pledge to scrap the UK's Trident nuclear deterrent. He was repeatedly pressed about co-leader Carla Denyer's assertion that Trident made the country more of a target but chose not to use her exact words.

The Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, faced scrutiny following the broadcast of secret recordings by Channel 4, which showed a canvasser using a racist slur to refer to the prime minister, along with another activist making a homophobic comment. When confronted with an opening question about his party attracting racists and extremists, Farage did not apologize, instead asserting that he had actively worked to eradicate the far right from British politics and claimed the individual making the racist slur was an actor.

Overall, the leaders' special highlighted the contrasting responses of Ramsay and Farage to the audience's questions and their differing approaches to challenges faced by their respective parties in the final days before the general election.
