The five remaining candidates in the race to be the next leader of the Conservative Party in the UK will go head-to-head for the first time in a live TV debate this evening.

Rishi Sunak topped yesterday's ballot of Tory MPs, followed by Penny Mordaunt.

Former culture secretary, Maria Miller, is backing her in the leadership race.

She's also defended the MP's stance on trans issues after she angered Tory traditionalists by speaking out in favour of gender recognition:

"For two main issues in this area, which is making sure that we have protected spaces for women, which is in law and making sure that there's fairness when it comes to sporting competitions and that the sporting bodies take very clear account of the impact of trans issues."
