Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak will take part in their second Tory leadership hustings in less than 24 hours as they face a grilling in Belfast this afternoon.
The two rivals faced Conservative Party members in Perth, Scotland, last night and have now travelled to Northern Ireland as the race for No 10 intensifies.
It is the eighth official hustings of the contest and after today’s edition there will be just four left.
Boris Johnson’s replacement is due to be announced on September 5, which means the two candidates are running out of time to convince Tory members to vote for them.
Ms Truss is viewed as the firm frontrunner in the race, but Mr Sunak will be hoping to use today’s event to gain ground.
