As the leadership contest rolls on it was another chance for the future prime minister to argue their case to lead the Conservative party. This was the second television debate in the race, but a first for Boris Johnson who did not appear in the Channel 4 debate on Sunday. Throughout the hour-long programme the five candidates were asked questions on Brexit, their plans to combat Islamophobia, implement tax cuts, tackle the climate crisis and much more. Earlier on Tuesday, former Brexit secretary Dominic Raab was eliminated from the run-in.
