The BBC asks if Rishi Sunak was “mansplaining” after repeatedly speaking over Liz Truss in last night’s leadership debate.

In last night’s clash between the final two Tory leadership candidates, Rishi Sunak was constantly interrupting Liz Truss throughout the night.

This morning on the BBC, the broadcaster asked if Rishi Sunak was mansplaining (a leftist term for a man talking down to a woman) during last night’s leadership debate.

'Do you think he was mansplaining?'
Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss tore into each other over their rival visions for the future of the UK economy, in their first head-to-head TV debate.
