10.20 p.m. – Sunak narrowly beats Truss in post-debate poll, but Tories still prefer Truss

Katy Balls writes… Who won? Team Truss are clearly unhappy with how many times Sunak interrupted the foreign secretary. The former chancellor’s tactics have met a mixed reception: some on the BBC focus group suggested they went too far and Truss supporter Therese Coffey implied it amounted to mansplaining. Yet the polling paints a happier picture for Truss. A snap Opinium poll puts Sunak ahead by one point – at 39 per cent to Truss on 38 per cent. Meanwhile, among Tory voters, Truss led with 47 per cent of the vote compared to Sunak on 38 per cent.
