Sunak hammered her in this debate. She was all filler words & is only offering to give £150 a year off a £4000 bill. Sunak has a history of spending money to help the country through furlough, eat out to help out & the £12000 energy grant. I believe he will go further when the energy cap rises. He also has some good policies.

I am a ardent Labour supporter, but for the sake of the economy I would want Rishi as the PM, until Kier takes over.

Liz changes her mind like she changes her knickers to fit in with the what is popular. All she wants is to win..say what pleases the public. Where is the credibility? Liz has changed her mind on so many issues. This seems like her personality. It happens year after year. Who is lying Rishi or Liz?

All the candidates for PM have been a 'B' team. As far as this event goes, I would be interested to see how the audience was selected. As to the two candidates, Sunak is slick with a quick brain, but Truss seems more gutsy .. becoming a closer contest.

Tax the money in the havens. Spend it in services for the people. Get rid of tory robbers.

God! The editing and direction of this and the 'quality' (low) of arguments and points made are awful. Could we not have some serious and well informed debate.
