Now is the time when Sunak and Truss will promise everything under the earth to get elected.

Jimbuna · 07-25-22, 09:49 AM

Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss's campaigns have been clashing over policy in the lead up to their first head-to-head TV debate.

The race to be the next Tory leader and prime minister was initially dominated by tax and the economy - but the candidates are now focusing on immigration and China.

The former chancellor has accused Truss of helping Beijing to infiltrate British universities, while the foreign secretary's camp claims Sunak has consistently been soft on China.

Veterans Minister Johnny Mercer has said the "puerile nature of this leadership contest is embarrassing"

Meanwhile, Labour leader Keir Starmer says Sunak and Truss are involved in "Thatcherite cosplay" and neither "has the answers" to the UK's economic challenges.

The pair will face each other in a BBC debate this evening in Stoke-on-Trent, facing an audience of people who voted Tory in the last election.

Our Next Prime Minister will be broadcast at 21:00 BST and presented by Sophie Raworth on BBC One,

Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss attacked each other's economic policies in the debate in Stoke-on-Trent.

Both campaign teams need "to be mindful of tone" and have a debate that's "respectful and dignified", Conservative MP Amanda Milling tells the BBC

The two contenders talked over each other and clashed on taxes, their Brexit records, the schools they went to and their records in government.

Sources close to Sunak said they believed he had "won the argument" on the economy, but one Truss supporter accused him of "mansplaining"

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says both Tory leadership candidates "are the architects of the mess this country is in"

About 160,000 Conservative members will take part in a ballot to choose the next party leader and prime minister, with the winner announced on 5 September.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has sacked his junior shadow transport minister who joined striking rail workers on a picket line.

Ilford South MP Sam Tarry attended the protest at London's Euston station despite Sir Keir saying his frontbench MPs should stay away.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Tarry said "any Labour MP" would have "absolute solidarity with striking workers".

Labour said he had been fired for making unauthorised media appearances.

I don't know why that Thatcher bitch is so lauded after what she did to the UK all those years ago, after destroying tens of thousands of people's jobs and the businesses that went down the pan as well she was the worst kind of Tory PM that anyone could wish for.

More corrupt than Bozo Johnson with all the brown envelopes she received from the banking sector, and her prime goal was to privatise everything she could get her bleeding hands on (oh lordy, the bitch was coining it in), all under the promise that they would be cheaper services in the long run, (look how well that turned out heh).

What she did was sell the nations silver tea sets to the highest bidder, and that meant that the profits the nationalised utilities brought in on a yearly basis to the Treasury was gone forever. The Tory government were as shortsighted then as the government of today are, no profits coming in from them means they didn't have any fallback options anymore and it's led right up to the present day National Debt mountain the UK is currently in.
Well Done Maggie Thatcher the Milk Snatcher.

Under Thatcher (and i mean this literally, there was no public influence of what was done in #10) it was decided that all real production was to be killed and the rest privatized, and the working sector was told to get lost, the rest to cut each other's hair and make a living out of that.
(Sorry Jim

, i was in England at that time and it was not pretty)
How anyone can support this is beyond me. But hey there are russians who support Putin, so why not.
