The Sky News leadership debate between Tory candidates to be next PM has been cancelled. Not because of Covid, the heat wave or logistical concerns, but because it makes the Conservative Party look bad. What a complete and utter joke.
In a statement a Sky News spokeswoman said: "Two of the three candidates currently leading in the MPs ballots - Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss - have confirmed to Sky News that they do not want to take part. Conservative MPs are said to be concerned about the damage the debates are doing to the image of the Conservative Party, exposing disagreements and splits within the party. Both are very welcome to taking part in future Sky News televised debates.
