All five remaining contenders vying to be the UK’s next prime minister will take part in the first televised debate on Friday on Channel 4, the network has confirmed.
Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt, Liz Truss, Kemi Badenoch, and Tom Tugendhat are expected to stand toe to toe in three debates over the weekend, ahead of the third ballot scheduled on Monday to further narrow the field.
