Who will be the next permanent manager of the Conservatives?

[Trogdor]

I'm not sure how much more of this I can watch.

No wonder the ERG loons are backing Truss. They know they will be able to control her.

Sunak certainly getting the upper hand.

Nice to see the beeb giving Sunak an unchallenged personal political broadcast

Who is facilitating this debate?

[Jim McLean's Ghost]

Sunak hasn't learned you can just promise anything to win and then never do it. No tax cuts, no help for energy bills.

Sunak doesn't know his audience. Sure he sounds more sensible to most of us but Truss knows who the electorate are.

[sophia]

That look from Truss when she thought she was going to be asked what the long term interest rate is 

[Salt n Vinegar]

Has the Truss team got a towel they can throw in? This is like watching baby seals being clubbed.

More than a grain of truth in that.

Someone find Andrew Neil, this is an utter irrelevance. Who are these empty heads on the BBC?

Chris Mason just got out witted by Liz Truss. Bloody Hell.

I would guess he would be on Truss's side.

Well he would be ripping the arse out of Sunak's economics. You can say Truss is a moron but we have seen Sunak's economy and it is shit.

Sunak is destroying her in this debate.

As others have mentioned, I'm not sure the Tory members will see it that way - but this is the mauling that was anticipated.  It's strange having been so used to leaders like Johnston, Trump and Biden, to hear someone who actually sounds like he's on top of the detail.

Truss is just floundering with soundbites.

Apparently Sunak is facing Andrew Neil on Friday night on Channel 4. Will be interesting to see how he copes with proper scrutiny tbh.

[Jim McLean's Ghost]

Did Rishi just out the plant by saying they were a tory councillor when he was presented as a member of the public

[Salt n Vinegar]

I'm no fan of Truss (or any Tory) but what this "debate" really needs is for someone to go out of the audience and smack Sunak in the coupon. 

[dirty dingus]

What's this giggle along shite, start fucking grilling them you BBC lickspittle c***s.

Truss has refused to be interviewed by Andrew Neil.
