Tom Tugendhat clear winner of first Tory leadership debate, snap poll finds

The Independent

Tom Tugendhat has emerged as the clear winner of the first live televised debate in the Tory leadership race, according to snap polling which placed him significantly ahead of frontrunner Rishi Sunak.

The five candidates went head-to-head on Channel 4 on Friday evening, with Mr Tugendhat having only narrowly survived the second round of votes the previous day, receiving the votes of just five more Tory MPs than attorney general Suella Braverman, who was eliminated.
