Six days before U.K. elections, the debate was the last chance for Corbyn to squeeze Johnson's lead in the polls, which mostly point to the victory for PM. The debate was much more than only Brexit and included the issues of security of law & order and the issues of anti-Semitism.
Corbyn attacked Johnson by calling his promises to leave E.U. by the end of January as fraud and said that his Brexit deal would simply be the start of years of painful negotiations and broken promises.
He also released a leaked government document that showed the divorce deal would lead to customs declarations and security checks between Britain & Northern Ireland, which contrasted with Johnson's statements that he would not create any barriers between province & the mainland.
