Truss and Sunak trade blows in acrimonious first TV debate ►
First Truss-Sunak Tory leadership debate: five key takeaways ►

[floatingpeaks]

Sunak predicted exactally what's happening right now. Truss needs to go now

[hotin]

People clapped at Liz’s response, must be enjoying current economic crisis 😅

[mart]

This has basically turned into a "Rishi was right" video

[Abhishek-efer]

Anybody here after Truss resigned, give me your attendance 🙄😂

[manasvibarthwal]

This is what happens when you vote on the basis of skin color rather than qualification

[rajeshr]

I wish India has debates like these as a part of their elections to elect their PM

[Mtberkshire]

Regarding to what happened these days, we are all agree that Rishi Sunak is right 😂

[yougotriptv]

Rishi was spot on.. But nobody bothered to listen.. Those who clapped for Liz that day, are all clapping there own cheeks now 🤣🤣

[michaelrch]

When Truss says she will cut taxes, don't expect that to be your taxes unless you earn a lot of money or you have a lot of wealth and property.

Politician: "I will start paying it down in three years"

Translation: "I will avoid the issue to become PM, and in three years hope you have forgotten and then I will still avoid facing reality "

[Qwuik]

Yep, Rishi knew and predicted truss’s future.

He should’ve been the prime minister

[Calm_wisdom]

Rishi avoided the question on what Liz should improve on. Maybe because he wanted to prove in real life why she is wrong by letting things play out as they have 😂

Rishi is an Economic expert, reward him

[aaloo]

Well. There we have it. I think we can see who was right.

[Jonathan-jspr]

Rishi was right - even though he's a proper tory, at least he can do the maths.

[hotbodtz]

In times like these the UK needs a composed leader, not just someone who wants the job for whatever the cost.

[abcbdr]

Britain really does not deserve a gem like Rishi Sunak.

[abhisheksrivastava]

She was laughing ., , , now world is laughing on you... hahahahahah... Sunak is great, , and will be remembered for his words forever....

[charmainnosworthy]

Rishi Sunak understands how the markets work. He is the more experienced out of the two.
