Utterly pointless when the public don't get a vote and the Tories have already chosen who they want!

[gerodwyer]

The idea that Liz Truss could actually become PM astounds me. Even today, she tweeted that she was going to ‘hit the ground’ on day one. Brilliant.

[albertod]

Boris left Britain in a mess with absolute terrible candidates for PM.

Bless rishi sunak he really thinks the public like him 😆

[S-A-M-]

Bit harsh that, they one the ones who cancelled original date when there was still other candidates who could have used that debate to help their bid

[AMan-JCIL]

The People should ALWAYS get the final say in ANY vote concerning who will be PM

[kevoneone]

I'm getting me pitchfork out who with me

[sneedchuckington]

Amazing that they do a u-turn on debates now that the candidate who would hold them to account is gone. What're the odds?

[stevesheppardmusic]

Close your eyes, listen to Sunak, yes it's Tory Blair! Lol

[derek.....]

Rishi Sunak is hated that much he’s broken the dislike button on youtube.

[ivermektin]

If Liz wins she'll be the useful idiot, but it seems it was tactical voting to ensure a Sunak win. Either way we need a general election now.

[S-A-M-]

So as if the itv debate wasn’t heated enough between these two we’ve now got them battling each other on a bbc debate and sky

[NothingParticularVid]

Happy to debate now Kemi's out the picture eh?

[flyinghedgehog]

can u cover telford gruuming...dover illegals ? no chance !

[robertsmith]

The WEF and claus will be really proud.

[AMan-JCIL]

If they really wanted what was best for The People, then The People would get to vote. [Edit] And the people would get to vote neither of them too until a majority are happy with the choices.

*Liz Truss, clearly the British equivalent of Kamala Harris.*

[Pablo]

Both WEF stooges. Both Schwabs babies. Sunak will deliver the next phase of lockstep and the reset and will follow orders from Schwab.

[danmac]

The crook and the incompetent the best little Brittania can offer ?

[vinodtohani]

Rishi is the best candidates. He is highly intelligent and honest . Liz Truss is a shady character with very little intelligent. She is an opportune and will tell many lies. Stupid ideas about tax.
