Eight candidates for Tory leadership contest nominated
Eight candidates have made it through to the first stage of the Tory leadership contest - actually getting onto the ballot.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss have already attracted some big name support, while another big name, former health secretary Sajid Javid, is no longer in the running.
The first hustings are being held in parliament tonight, with candidates given 12 minutes each to put their case, before MPs take part in the first round of voting tomorrow afternoon.

Bloke at the end talking about levelling up seems like a decent bloke but seriously misguided if he thinks any form of Tory gov is ever going to “level up” the north of uk. The fact that none of contenders mentioned it is because Tory base doesn’t care about levelling up as it’s irrelevant. Shame some people in the north are so naive

He even acknowledges it's something the Labour party focuses on which is funny to me, it's like they are aware that generational wealth and unfair wages are issues yet they run under a party which has historically protected those injustices.

Sunak preparing himself for a shot at PM from the moment he entered the cabinet. ALL of them, bar Hunt willingly sucked up to Boris and lied to the public for him. They all supported the "Oven ready" withdrawal bill which included the Northern Ireland protocol which all of them (with the possible exception of the pro EU but reluctantly wears brexiteer clothes to stay in a job Hunt) are now rubbishing that very agreement they voted for! I don't like or trust Jeremy Hunt but he's probably the most pragmatic (i.e. not a deranged, swivel eyed rabid brexiteer) and 'cleanest' candidate of the whole rotten bunch.

The lady they interviewed said the 50% tax cut proposed by Penny on fuel duty has been costed by "an increase in revenue". Increase in revenue in what? If you cut tax, you literally cut the tax revenue. What are they talking about?
No one's talking about leveling up because it's a load of horseshit, like the northern powerhouse
It’s weird they aren’t talking about Penny Mordaunt more. She has the second most number of MPs supporting her and she’s the favourite among the Tory base since Wallace declined to run. She may likely become PM and it’s weird they’re hasn’t been more media scrutiny around her and her very weird career.

I've decided to not watch the news anymore, so I'll never know which one gets elected.
The bulk of the problems facing this country stem from one thing - the downward spiralling economy. But Brexit means that we're trying to tackle that problem with one hand tied behind our back, and one foot caught in brambles. It'll be impossible to grow the economy to a significant degree with a pro-Brexit government. Time to tell the public they were conned, and reverse the more damaging aspects of Brexit.
Truss should have thanked them for her support but should have asked them not to tell anyone
