• TV debate between Truss and Sunak cancelled after presenter faints

Polling from YouGov suggests that Liz Truss was perceived by Tory members to have outperformed Sunak on every issue covered in last night's debate.

In particular, she led on Ukraine, cost of living and levelling up, although her lead was weaker on Brexit, the environment and taxation.

There are some lines on PA from Robert Buckland, the Wales secretary who is supporting Rishi Sunak for the Tory leadership, defending last night's fierce TV showdown as robust debate".

There's this balance to be struck between having a vigorous debate and being sort of almost too polite to each other.

I think it's inevitable that you're going to have candidates disagreeing, and frankly, we need to hear what the arguments are.
