7:13 pm
correspondent is awaiting. i can see them come of the suggestions going on behind you, such as the journalists at the moment and the candidates yet to be seen in public? the candidates are just through the back, that's a lot of the supporters, a lot of mps and ministers are here supporting the teams in the spin room. two nights debate is going to matter, the 90 minutes or so, we are going to see later is because so much of this debate so far has been conducted in private. it has been candidates talking to conservative mps, one or taking part in tory mps behind closed doors in parliament but tonight, they are going to feel the full grid of public scrutiny remember, yes, this is contest that is going to be chosen in the next few days of tory mps were going to be the ones who would lead down to
7:14 pm
two and conservative members who pick our next prime minister, but those mps will be thinking about who comes over well on tv, who communicates well with the public, who ultimately do they thing could win a general election and i do think this debate is potentially a really important moment for the three candidates that are looking at the moment that most likely get down to the last bit of work. for rishi sunak, he can persuade the stories that he's gonna bit soft on some of their economic proposals, that he can win them over for penny mordant and liz truss who are both looking for the final spot, it is the chance for the final spot, it is the chance for them to pull away from the other and went over this wavering mps. it is still a pretty unpredictable race and everyone is talking about rishi sunak being likely to make the last two but beyond that, were not really certain what is going to happen. it is wide open so debates like tonight really do matter. we
