Race for British Prime Minister: Sunak and Trus debate severely on taxes

Two contenders to be next prime minister faced at one hour special BBC. Sunak told Truss her tax reduction plan would replace millions of people in misery” and cost conservatives the upcoming election. Truss said his tax hikes would lead to a recession.

Foreign Secretary and Sunak, who up until three weeks ago were in the same cabinet, occasionally talked to each other and looked angry at the Stoke-Trent Victoria Hall stage.

This led to complaints later by Mrs. Truss' supporters that he was very aggressive, but Sunak denied such a thing.

However, things finally softened as Trus said he would like to have Sunak on her team if she becomes prime minister. Sunnak praised her attitude towards Russia. But the tax dispute dominated the debate /abcnews.al/
