Last night, during their first head-to-head televised debate, Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss got into a heated argument that intensified the Tory leadership race. In their first TV debate at this point, the two contenders for the position of next prime minister, Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, sparred on a variety of ideas. Both struck blows on tax cuts, relations between Britain and China, and the future of Boris Johnson's political career. In the hour-long BBC special, the two candidates for the position of prime minister did not refrain from 'blue-on-blue' insults. Sunak warned Ms. Truss that her proposed tax cuts would tip millions into despair and cost the Conservative Party the upcoming election. Truss predicted that tax increases he enacted would trigger a recession. In the first head-to-head debate for the tory leadership, Rishi Sunak interrupted Liz Truss at least 20 times, according to the reports.
