Rishi Sunak accuses Liz Truss of ÂŁ40bn of unfunded tax cuts.

Truss insists she’ll start paying down the debt in 3 years. “I don’t believe this negative declinist language”.

“This is scaremongering! This is Project Fear!” says Truss.

“I remember who was on the side of Project Fear in the referendum and it wasn’t me” says Sunak.

“Maybe I’ve learnt from it” replies Truss.

I will be covering the #BBCDebate in this thread, but with a little less sarcasm than usual. This is an evening for measured debate.
Caroline Lucas makes a passionate case for immediate action on the environment: "Children can't vote. The planet can't vote."
Rishi Sunak: "We have a new Brexit deal ready to go. We'll bring it back to Parliament before Christmas, and leave the EU before the end of January." He also repeats the "get Brexit done" lie the Tories are pushing as hard as they can.
