Penny Mordaunt has insisted she is capable of being the UK's next prime minister after labelling attacks on her campaign a 'big fat compliment'
When asked whether she accepted this, Ms Badenoch, who was equalities minister until she resigned this month, said: "I find it difficult to, because when I took over as equalities minister in 2020, the policy that was being pushed was self-ID.
"I didn't work with Penny, but my understanding was that the previous minister who had done the role had wanted self-ID, and that was something that I reversed with Liz."The economy was also a key point of contention during Friday's debate, with Mr Sunak levelling attacks against both Ms Mordaunt and Ms Truss over their plans to introduce tax cuts.Ms Truss responded: "I think it is wrong to put taxes up.
Ms Mordaunt said: "My economic platform is not based on tax and spend, it's based on growth and competition."Climate change was discussed at the very end of the debate. The Government is currently working towards a target to cut carbon emissions to zero by 2050 - but Kemi Badenoch said she would not commit to that pledge, becoming the only candidate to do so.
She dismissed international environment minister Lord Goldsmith's warning that it would be "political suicide" to drop the 2050 net zero target."The pledge was made in 2018 for 2050, none of us are going to be here as politicians in 2050, it's very easy to set a target you are not going to be responsible and accountable for when the time comes."Many of the things we are doing could economically damage our country.
