.sajidjavid challenged his rival Tory leadership candidates to agree to an external investigation into alleged Islamophobia in the Conservative party - they all agreed. Here's the latest on the BBC televised debate:

Ex-Brexit secretary Dominic Raab eliminated with just 30 votesAnother ballot to be held tomorrow, with further rounds later in the weekLive reporting by Alan McGuinness and Greg Heffer, political reportersHealth Secretary Matt Hancock is now supporting Boris Johnson after ending his own Tory leadership bid...20:59In the last question, the candidates are asked - if they become PM - if they will call an general election.

Stewart says what"depresses" him is that his rival candidates are making promises they can't deliver, including a cumulative £84bn worth of tax cuts. He says the border solution can be found during the Brexit implementation period while trade talks take place with the EU. Gove challenges Johnson as to whether, if the UK was"close" to a deal by 31 October, whether he would still not consider delaying Brexit beyond that date in order to sign off that agreement.

However, like Hunt, he doesn't rule out delaying Brexit beyond 31 October in order to get a Brexit deal over the line.

sajidjavid Tell her to stop interrupting

sajidjavid Non are fit to govern election needed

sajidjavid IpPersonally I thought it was *DEADLY DULL* ! Why ? Because we've got no one with any *REAL* chutzpah. They were *ALL* exceedingly boring. Truly, I'm not really a shit - I just have a low tolerance for bullshit and waffle❗️😇

sajidjavid

sajidjavid I

sajidjavid Pointless pathetic discussion

sajidjavid Country is so cool right now.

sajidjavid Is there likely to be an agreement to investigate AntiChristian beliefs in UK 🇬🇧 political parties?

sajidjavid Playing the race card has just cost him his political career.

sajidjavid A made up term🙄

sajidjavid REMEMBER THEY ALL HAVE PROMISES TO KEEP, OR AN INSTANT REPLACEMENT!!

sajidjavid That’s Saj out next ... up to that point nobody gave a monkeys about his ethnicity or religion and then HE’S the one that brings it into the debate .. one step forward two steps back

sajidjavid Sajid javid must never become Prime Minister, Boris for PM.

sajidjavid what a load of tosh

sajidjavid I don’t think Boris did.

sajidjavid I thought he was mostly challenging them to a game of rock, paper, scissors. What’s with the fist clenching ?

sajidjavid What a sad state of affairs, can't believe how embarrassingly weak our choices of leaders are. FIGHT & DEBATE like someone who really wants to be the leader of a powerful nation & not a Sunday church Committee

sajidjavid Can we at least define Islamophobia first...? If it's criticising Islam, then we should be able to. If it's an irrational fear of Islam, then I don't believe anyone is.

sajidjavid Islamophobia is a made up word to appease a Minority group of religious fanatics, and all the wet luttuces fall for it time and time again

sajidjavid THIS position is because of Brexit End Of. I don’t want to hear about Taxes Racism climate change and the rest Get us out of the grip of Brussels is all I want sorting at this time. We CAN leave 31/10/19 if Brussels won’t agree to open talks WE LEAVE. Talk afte.

sajidjavid This debate just showed the people howe poor the politicians are and Howe useless the bbc are.

sajidjavid It was dreadful the interviewer was awful talking over them all the time mainly when Boris started to answer It looked like the Rory show with the airtime she gave him an absolute shambles

sajidjavid hardly surprising

sajidjavid The Leadersdebate was a resounding success! The contenders reassured me immensely. I am now certain the ConservativeParty is doomed and the next GeneralElection is just around the corner! BrexitShambles

sajidjavid And what about overt anti Christian agenda in politics and among media elites?!

sajidjavid Absolutely pathetic discussion of ever seen knew that woman was of beyond me

sajidjavid but will they act on it... my bet's on 'no'

sajidjavid Islam is a political movement with a deity and some culture mixed in. It's fine to be uncomfortable with it's misogynistic homophobic prescriptions. Anyone who tries to excuse that viewpoint has no place in mainstream poiltics.

sajidjavid Straight in. Bosh. At least we know straight away why we can’t have a Muslim leader in this country for the foreseeable future.

sajidjavid I don’t know a single real person who gesticulates when talking like politicians do. If there a hand waving course when you become an Mp?

sajidjavid They were under terrible pressure 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣

sajidjavid Because it was a televised national debate they agreed......

sajidjavid And all agreed 👀 👀
