Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt traded blows during ITV's live leadership debate on Tuesday night, but who came out on top?

Asa Bennett: Boris was the frontrunner after this spectacle "This country faces a momentous choice," Boris Johnson said. Which is true, so long as you take "this country" to mean "the few Tory party members who haven't sent off their votes yet".

Boris.

I don't think it was Britain...

The ITV moderator clearly favored Hunt, who came across as the childish bully, which is an impressive feat when standing next to Boris Johnson.

Y'know when all the Johnson fans tell us we have to be careful about what we say about American presidents? Cut to 1 min 35 secs

Will TV debate change course of Tory race?There was no jaw-dropping moment in ITV debate but both Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt will be happy. Yes but.. Absolute waste of my time. BBC owes me a refund..for the hour No. The TV debate only applies to Tory members i.e. 120K members or 160K if you include the infiltrators. It doesn't help the UK PM's electorate.

Tory leadership: Hunt insists under-fire Darroch WILL stay but Johnson refuses to commitTory leadership contender Boris Johnson tells Jeremy Hunt \u2018I\u2019m talking to Julie\u2019 during their ITV debate. Perfect Boris will be a lapdog to trump. So USA will pillage the best assets of our NHS but we get little in return. Remember Trumps Motto 'America First'. Personally we shouldn't be doing anything different than the current terms. There are far more 'honest' deals with other countries!

Tory leadership: Raab exposes flaw in Hunt’s arsenal as he proves why Johnson should be PMTory leadership contender Boris Johnson tells Jeremy Hunt \u2018I\u2019m talking to Julie\u2019 during their ITV debate. Raab's just a creeper and desperately wants a position in the new government. Watch him jump thro' the hoops in a Bungling Boris Circus. We will still be the laughing stock of the top 20 richest countries. I believe it will be even more dysfunctional with Boris in charge. Thought an Ambassador would exercise Diplomacy not make comments suited to the playground. Showed ill judgement. There is no defence. Mr Hunt is wrong & Mr Johnson is right to smooth things over. The decision as who UK ambassador should be is UK’s.
