GB News has announced another debate between the two candidates this Friday at 7pm. The two will go head-to-head in Manchester for two hours in front of a live audience. The debate will be chaired by Alastair Stewart, 12 years after he hosted the first ever televised leaders debate between Cameron, Brown and Clegg. Alastair says:

“I am delighted to be returning to Manchester to host the Conservative Party hustings with Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. This time, I get the chance to grill the candidates and oversee the audience’s interrogation of them. As we enter the final phase of the campaign, the timing is perfect. There are many big issues in need of further examination. These include, what the candidates think is the role of the state; How big it should be; and how much the Government should try to do, with taxpayers picking up the tab? Both have touched on it, but I hope we can go much further with these fundamental questions about the future of the UK. As we enter the final phase of the campaign, the timing is perfect because there are many big issues in need of further examination, especially as the winner will not only lead the Conservative Party but the whole country as our next PM.”
