Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss traded blows in the first head-to-head TV debate as the Tory leadership contest descended into acrimony.
The PM hopefuls clashed over tax and the economy, China and the environment in a bad-tempered debate where Mr Sunak was accused of "mansplaining" and presenter Sophie Raworth had to intervene to let Ms Truss get her point across.
Tory grandees have urged both candidates to tone down the personal attacks, which have been branded "trivial and silly" amid fears the slanging match is only helping Labour.
