Last night’s big BBC debate between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak was an opportunity for viewers, the majority of whom will not have a say in the outcome, to learn more about their next Prime Minister. In which case, many would have come away with only a partial understanding of what a Truss or Sunak premiership would deliver.
The first portion of the evening was dedicated to an important disagreement on spending, with Sunak arguing for fiscal conservatism to combat inflation and Truss for tax cuts to boost the economy, indicating a significant ideological choice to be made.
