The planned BBC debate between Tory leadership candidates Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick is in jeopardy due to a disagreement over audience selection. The Conservative Party insists the audience should be composed solely of party members, while the BBC proposes a mixed crowd of recent Tory voters and others. Jenrick has expressed his eagerness to participate, whereas Badenoch is awaiting the party's decision. Currently, the only confirmed debate is scheduled on GB News, which will not feature direct confrontations between the candidates. Jenrick has also reached out to multiple broadcasters, advocating for more debates to address key issues facing the country. Both candidates aim to present their visions as Conservative Party members begin voting soon.
