The final two Conservative leadership candidates took part in another live TV debate on Thursday evening, as the race to No 10 enters its final stages.
In a month’s time, the Conservative Party are set to announce their new leader, with that person being appointed Prime Minister the following day. Last night, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak were grilled by host Kay Burley and an audience of Tory party members during Sky News’ The Battle for Number 10.
The two candidates discussed a range of topics during the programme, including the Bank of England’s forecast for an outright recession and 13% inflation, which Truss said is “extremely worrying” but “not inevitable.”
