Clear divisions emerging here, Boris and Saj both committing to leave on October 31st and to continue to prepare for No Deal even if aiming for a Deal and orderly Brexit.
Gove and Hunt prepared to extend a little more to get a Deal but will leave with No Deal as a last resort.
Rory says he would take No Deal off the table, Hunt says that means he would be willing to 'Stop Brexit'
Maybe a different version being broadcast here but on my tv Boris did not commit to leave by October 31st, used virtually the same words as May did about March 31st.
He did at the very beginning
Boris Johnson is the first to answer the first question. He says: "We must come out on the 31 October, otherwise we face a catastrophic loss of confidence in politics.
Exactly what May said about March, without actually saying he would definitely no deal on October 31. Listening to him he is not going to no deal, which is a relief.
He will have held a referendum in NI on the backstop by then
Do you ever think before you post. How can the legislation for a NI referendum pass tge HOC by the 31st October
As a general election will be won by then too
Crikey. You’re full of yourself this evening.
You do realise that you’re taking an awful lot for granted here, including the electorate. They don’t like that.
The majority of the electorate voted Leave, Boris will deliver that, it is diehard Remainers who have contempt for the electorate

Three months. Plenty of time for an election, referendum and renegotation.
So we can have a referendum on no deal v remain then

Even the Tory electorate, who are the only ones who matter to Boris right now? Viability of any plans among wider electorate or parliament are irrelevant.

In HY’s world the Tories have unity, purpose and mastery of Parliament. In the real world they’ve made us live through two years of never ending fiasco and failure and they just came fourth in a national election.
In the real world the Brexit Party lead the latest poll, so Brexit must be delivered or it may well be PM Farage

He'll have held a referendum by 31 October? Does that come before or after negotiations with the EU?
It can be done in September if no renegotiation of the backstop by then
Fantasy.

There are not three months business in the HOC. They go on holiday in a month, come back for a couple of weeks in September before conference season
The Tories were looking to turn on the spending taps somehow anyway - even when Cameron was still in charge they were starting to struggle getting the more controversial austerity through. That time is gone.
All candidates agree with Saj to have an external investigation into Islamophobia in the Tory Party.
Saj says as a man of Muslim background he is concerned by growing anti Muslim feeling in parts of Britain despite our diverse communities and despite being close friends with the US we can call out Trump when wrong
Sharp work by Javid, getting unanimity on an independence investigation into Tory islamophobia; he’d moved on before BJ realises he’s been done and starts to chunter unsuccessfully.
Sure, but he at least claimed he wanted to borrow less. Javid's not likely to improve that record starting out with a view that he's comfortable increasing the national debt even further.

The country has changed its mind, and if you take us out with no deal then you will be destroyed as a political force for a generation. Even with a deal the Tories are going to be eviscerated. Even if by some miracle Rory get into the play off v Boris, it is Tory diversity: which Eton/Balliol Oxford man will win...?

No, diehard Remainers like you determined to stop Brexit by all means possible are about to face a PM who will take you on and deliver Brexit whether you like it or not
Sure, but he at least claimed he wanted to borrow less. Javid's not likely to improve that record starting out with a view that he's comfortable increasing the national debt even further.
I'd prefer a government which was honest about its borrowing than one which claimed it was 'paying down the debt' when doing the opposite.

NO, the country has not changed its mind, which is why on the latest YouGov the Brexit Party would overtake the Tories and the BP and Tories and DUP combined would have a Commons majority with Farage PM.
Boris will unite the Tories behind delivering Brexit Deal or No Deal and the BP will fade while the Labour party rips itself apart over EUref 2 and continues to see a flood of Remainers to the LDs and Greens
How on earth are the Tories going to attack Labour for unrealistic spending promises after this sh*t-show?
Unconvincingly I assume, but they don't have lines they can use. They'll go hard on chaos under Corbyn hand in hand with the SNP too, and that one is not particularly convincing either.

I'd prefer a government which was honest about its borrowing than one which claimed it was 'paying down the debt' when doing the opposite.
I'm not defending Osborne by any means, but borrowing more, now, before the next recession hits would be the most irresponsible fiscal act by any British government that I can think of.
So far I think Gove has been the best. Javid also strong. Rory has been a bit of a mixed bag. Boris waffling but not really sinking his position as the favourite. Hunt OK.
Much improved by Gove compared to Sunday. Less grandstanding and comes across much better.
Gove promises a detailed plan for the very poorest and to deliver growth and to send Corbyn 'the discredited Marxist back into the bin of history where you belong'
Javid -7 - Assured performance Rory - 6 - Some good points but not a polished performance Gove - 5.5 - Good on detail but tends to gabble. The stare was back. Hunt - 5 - Patchy. Flat early on. Improved. Boris - 4 - Weaknesses clearly on show.

Died horribly in 1922.
But seriously, didn't know he was killed during the Turks' War of Independence in 1922.

The Saj not bad - seems like a genuinely nice and decent guy.
What bollocks
May's? Hammond's?
Not watching, but doesn't sound like there's anyone with the oomph factor to cut into Boris's huge lead with members.
Good
The only sensible thing I have heard tonight
Appalling chairing
Too much talking over one another
Utterly dispiriting
