Tory leadership waxworks? Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak stand VERY still at debate

Tory leadership race: Brits think Truss and Rishi look like wax works. Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss went head-to-head in a crucial Tory leadership TV debate tonight as the race for No10 turns increasingly nasty. The ex-Chancellor and the Foreign Secretary clashed in a BBC programme at 9pm.

In all seriousness, that is creepy af. I'm not surprised some people go on about our leaders being non-human etc when you see things like this. Whats the reason for it

Why is Rishi accused of Mansplaining but Truss refusing to apologise for comments on Rishi's dress and background and pointing her finger at Rishi during the debate not being commented on? Also, Liz Truss called comprehensive schools and their teachers rubbish?! As a comprehensive school educated, I am offended.

Are most conservatives including Boris Johnson not private school educated? So why is Sunak being targeted by Truss on this point?
Sunak is the wrong colour and religion for Britain.
The entitlement as a private school educated that Sunak is being accused of must be addressed head on - it has to be explicit that he was not born with a silver spoon and despite being a ethnic minority ( who do not have the same opportunities as their white counterparts) his parents worked hard and earned enough to put Sunak through private school. Also, Sunak's parents prioritised their children's education over everything else and went without/sacrificed a lot themselves to ensure a better future for their children - this must be explicit from Sunak's camp.

Damn I didn't think they were really standing there until Rishi changed his smile. Neither of them even blinked

[ButterflySims]

Thought they were cardboard cutouts until one of them moved 😂

Deff not Sunak. Did the dirty on Boris. After all this back stabbing I'd vote Labour....Kier looks like a better prospect than this lot now. Didn't think I'd ever say that

They discused shoes, and earings, but the woke BBC failed to ask a single question on the major issue of illegal immigration to the UK.

[rayrowland]

how about asking the people who they want, wheres the democracy?

[Momoeki]

This is what you see in your nightmares

He got cocky, he thinks he has it in the bag. Such a rude man.

Liz Truss is the definition of a flip-flopper. She was a Liberal Democrat at University, and now, she's a Tory. She voted Remain during the referendum, says she "regrets" her decision, and is now a staunch brexiteer. How many more decisions is she going to flip-flop on? There's something shifty about Rishi, but I think he's leagues above Liz Truss in terms of competence, and that's not saying much.

Can you please let her speak.. jeez
Afraid if digest her proposals, you won’t stand a chance

[billparrish]

Sunak was like something from 'Top of the Form' in the first ten minutes. Obviously tutored by his minders to "come out fighting".
They should have told him to come out thinking.
Embarrassing.

[tonyatthebeach]

Sunak stabbed his boss in the back for the top job, how can you ever trust someone like that?

[pb]

What a snake Sunak is and his awful personality came out tonight for everyone to see!

[sherman]

He talks and acts EXACTLY like Tony Blair used to.
Watch the two and notice how very very similar they are.
Weasel!

[Valelacerte]

Liz Truss for Conservative leader and Prime minister.

[corl]

Both these people served on Johnson's Government, supporting his lies and looking the other way to his antics. Not interested on who becomes leader of the Tories, give us an election so we the public can vote for who we want to Govern us and be the next Prime Minister.

[timsimmons]

Time for a change. Who wins will not last long.

[millsshumps]

Surprised someone within Liz Truss campaign team hasn't created and used the slogan "Liz, a woman you can Truss for the next Tory Leadership"

[Lana-tgue]

why does he shout constantly what he wants to convey. he has already increased taxes to the point of impossibility.
