The UK Tory leadership rivals traded blows over economic policies, China and Boris Johnson in the latest TV debate.

Rishi Sunak also claimed Liz Truss would lose a general election, while the current foreign secretary thinks his tax rises would bring a recession.

The former Chancellor has been accused of mansplaining, with his rival sometimes struggling to get a word in.
