BORIS Johnson is tonight set to expose Jeremy Corbyn’s Maxist blueprint for Britain as the two leaders face a grilling from a live Question Time audience.

The leaders have arrived at BBC HQ where they will face a gruelling 30 minutes of questions from a studio audience with Lib Dem boss Jo Swinson and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon.

HERE WE BO AGAIN

The Labour boss is sure to face a raft of questions over his radical manifesto packed full of costly 1970s style policies was unveiled yesterday.

While Boris will hope to build on his performance in Tuesday nights head-to-head leadership debate – after he narrowly defeated Mr Corbyn over his muddled Brexit stance.

The leftie-boss refused nine times to say whether he would back his own deal in a bruising TV clash.

While Mr Johnson made the entire debate about Brexit – skewering the leftie boss for his complete failure to make up his mind on whether Britain should leave the EU.

FIRST CLASH

Mr Corbyn dodged questions several times – from both the PM and ITV host Julie Etchingham – on how he would campaign in a second referendum.

The leftie boss said: “We will negotiate an agreement and we will put that alongside remain in a referendum.

“I will carry out that referendum, it will be a genuine choice. And we will carry it out.”

Boris blasted back: “What’s the point in Brussels offering this deal? Are you going to campaign for Leave or Remain?

“He wont come clean about what he is proposing to do, nor will he come clean about whether he will support that deal or not!”

Mr Corbyn also suffered a humiliation moment live on air when audience members laughed in disbelief at his claim he was tackling Labours anti-Semitism scandal.

Tonights debate comes after an economics experts branded Labours manifesto not credible yesterday.

Mr Corbyn plans to pay for his raft for extreme-left policies including renationalisation by raising 82.9bn with a series of 12 tax hikes.

But Paul Johnson, director of independent think-tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said it was simply not credible for Labour to raise the sum by slapping a tough tax on businesses and Britains highest earners.

He told ITV: “You cannot raise that kind of money in our tax system without affecting individuals.
