The Fight for No.10 | Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak face Sun debate

The Sun's Showdown: The Fight for No.10

THE Tory leadership debate was forced off air half-way through tonight when TalkTV host Kate McCann fainted in front of the candidates.

Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak were making their pitch for PM to Sun readers and the nation in a prime time showdown live on TalkTV - until the debate was cut short at 6.31pm.

The candidates continued fielding questions from Sun readers after the show went off air.

A News UK spokeswoman said: "Kate McCann fainted on air tonight and although she is fine, the medical advice was that we shouldn't continue with the debate. We apologise to our viewers and listeners."

During a fiery 30-minute debate before the incident, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss had promised to "relieve the burden on Sun readers" with a tax cuts bonanza.

But Rishi Sunak hit back branding her plans "morally wrong".
The ex-Chancellor accused Truss of cooking up fantasy promises - and said his priority was to bring down inflation.

He blasted: "I think Sun readers are sensible enough and have enough common sense to know that you don't get something for nothing."
