national insurance, it is wrong to be charging people the energy levy on top of their bills at the moment, we need to help people now. that is why, if i was elected as prime minister, i would why, if i was elected as prime minister, iwould immediately reverse the national insurance increases, which i called out and cabinet, i was opposed to them and cabinet. i would also remove the green energy levy. let cabinet. i would also remove the green energy levy-— cabinet. i would also remove the green energy levy. let me ask you about this question, _ green energy levy. let me ask you about this question, because - green energy levy. let me ask you about this question, because it. green energy levy. let me ask you about this question, because it is. about this question, because it is really interesting, it has become a bit of a dividing line in this contest. conservative mps know the script, because they were speaking of the importance and necessity of putting up national insurance, not everybody, tom tugendhat voted against it, but many of them voted with the government on this, because of the need to deal with the consequences of covid on health service. do they find it credible that they would say let's reverse

it, without some inspiration on how they would make savings to cover the cost? fin they would make savings to cover the cost? _ ~ , they would make savings to cover the cost? _ ~ , cost? on fiscal policy mps are very aware of the _ cost? on fiscal policy mps are very aware of the consequences - cost? on fiscal policy mps are very aware of the consequences of - cost? on fiscal policy mps are very i aware of the consequences of making unfunded tax commitments, particularly during a campaign. having a people will be looking at liz truss's response, and saying, why didn't you resign then? why were you defending this right until the very end? why didn't you call for borisjohnson's resignation? i think a lot of people can see through that, and i would imagine after today's performance, notjust at the channel for mac debate, but also at the debate earlier today, a lot of the debate earlier today, a lot of the members on the right would possibly fall in behind kemi badenoch in the next round. if liz truss is going to continue to make unfunded promises, she is also going to have to confront the public at

some point, if she does become the prime minister, and answering, where are the spending cuts going to go? either going to be cuts to the nhs? what is going to happen in respect of borrowing, is borrowing going to increase? i think that is where economic policies fall apart. we don't want fairy tales, as rishi sunak said early in the debate tonight. we want honest answers, because at the end of the day, most mps know they will be up against their electorate, and they will have to defend themselves and the staff stop frankly, some of the commitments we have heard today are indefensible? i5 commitments we have heard today are indefensible?— indefensible? is saw not there in terms of- -- _ indefensible? is saw not there in terms of... kemi _ indefensible? is saw not there in terms of... kemi badenoch. - indefensible? is saw not there in terms of... kemi badenoch. it'sl terms of... kemi badenoch. it's uuite terms of... kemi badenoch. it's quite difficult _ terms of... kemi badenoch. it's quite difficult to categorise the candidates in the bold sense of left and right — candidates in the bold sense of left and right. their agendas actually ra-e and right. their agendas actually rage over— and right. their agendas actually rage over —— range over a lot of
