LONDON, July 19 ― Former finance minister Rishi Sunak widened his lead in the latest round of voting yesterday by Conservative MPs to decide Britain's next prime minister, but the race to get in the final two tightened.
Television bosses earlier yesterday scrapped a planned debate between the remaining contenders for Tuesday night after Sunak and Truss pulled out, said Sky News, which was due to host it. But Sunday's clash turned more acrimonious ― and personal ― with candidates encouraged to directly criticise one another and their proposals.
“Tory MPs and activists will have watched in horror as several of the candidates flung buckets of manure over each other,” he wrote.
