Tory MP attacks 'puerile nature' of contest; MP 'mutes' Dorries over £4.50 earrings claim; rivals to clash in TV debate | Live updates 👇

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is delivering a speech in Liverpool to discuss his vision for the country's economy.

The institutes are funded by the Chinese government and are meant to be culture and language centres, but critics claim they are propaganda tools as relations between the West and China worsen. Now, the former chancellor has brushed off criticism by issuing a statement on Twitter setting out how he will"face down China".

However, it has been pointed out that last year Mr Cleverly appeared to back a national insurance hike and criticised Labour for voting against extra funding for social care.Earlier Sky's political correspondent Tamara Cohen alluded to a Twitter post made by Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries in which she mocked Rishi Sunak over his expensive suits.

Responding to the culture secretary's comments, Conservative MP Angela Richardson, a supporter of Mr Sunak, has said the cabinet minister needs to stay"muted".It appears that tension is mounting in the Conservative Party as both leadership contenders try to gather the support of the party's members. Over the weekend, these clashes extended to migration policy, with both trying to compete to sound toughest on asylum seekers. Sunak promised annual targets and housing asylum seekers on cruise ships; Truss proposed extending the Rwanda partnership to other countries.

These two putting it all behind them and making friends when it's all over looks increasingly unlikely. Tonight's debate in Stoke on Trent, an area newly won by the Conservatives in 2019, should be a chance for ordinary voters, not just Conservative Party members, to see what both candidates off on a wider agenda.

Sunak is trailing behind Truss in polls of Conservative members by a significant margin. YouGov has her leading by 62% to his 38%. With voting set to start earlier in this contest than last time around, his team know he needs to make a big impact to convince members he would be a winner for them in a general election.

Vote for small independent political parties . They are removing them from social media making it difficult as possible to register as political party to keep the status quo Remember queen's government and the queen's opposition are the same sitting in a palace not a parliament

'Growth, growth, growth' He can repeat this all he likes but at the end of the day these soundbites do not a plan make!

More ‘puellan’ these days.

Neither fit for purpose.... The majority of the Tory party are so self indulgent...
