The race to be Prime Minister is gathering pace today after the five remaining candidates for the conservative leadership went head to head in a live bbc debate. Frontrunner Boris Johnson and his rivals clashed on brexit and there were disagreements over taxes as they answered questions from the public. But they did agree to launch an internal inquiry into islamaphobia, as our Political Correspondent iain watson reports. High stakes can lead to a hard battle. The frontrunner has made fewer media appearances than his competitors, but last night Boris Johnson was under the spotlight of scrutiny. Pressed by the bbcs emily maitlis, he didnt absolutely say he would take the uk out of the eu by the end of october deadline. Would take the uk out of the eu by the end of october deadlinelj would take the uk out of the eu by the end of october deadline. I think that october 31 is eminently feasible. No, its not a guarantee. And he issues beyond brexit. We previously said he would lie down in front of bulldozers to stop the heathrow expansion and that he has grave concerns. And his plans to ta ke he has grave concerns. And his plans to take more people out of the higher rate of tax didnt quite sound like a firm commitment. Higher rate of tax didnt quite sound like a firm commitmentlj sound like a firm commitment. think had very sensible to have an ambition to raise the butt an ambition. To raise the higher rate of tax. The battle for second place is fierce. Every candidate, apart from rory stewart, said he would be prepared to leave the eu without a deal. It is not going to be possible to negotiate a new deal with the European Union by october 31. In the end, we are in a room with a door and the door is called parliament. And im the only person here trying to find the key to the door. We have iuii to find the key to the door. We have run into the door three times already, rory. Weve got to have a different route out. We cant simply represent the same cold porridge. Jeremy hunts approach was to admit past mistakes and to try to put them right. I think having been responsible for health and social that some of the cuts in social care did go too far. Sajid javid s got a personal victory, managing to get his competitors to sign up to an investigation into allegations of islamophobia in their party. Ill be all good guys . Shall we have an external examination into the party on islamophobia . Excellent. After the debate, michael gove proved that whatever his floors, lack of self confidence. His competitors would challenge that. As for rory stewart, he lost his tie during the debate, but had he also lost ground . Tonight you were a bit lacklustre, wont you . Youre right. Aided by net format really work for me. By tomorrow we will know the final two who will have to face the wider Party Membership in a final run. Borisjohnson will be there, still not clear who else willjoin him. Iain watson, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent nick eardley is in westminsterfor us. I expect many of our audience would have been watching it and you would have, too. What are your conclusions . You were there yesterday morning. There doesnt seem to be a clear winner. No. There was no knockout blow. Variousjobs on borisjohnson, an attempt to hold him to account over some of his policy objectives. A few of them as you saw in that package were quite pertinent, but im not sure there was anything that changes the race completely. Boris johnson was anything that changes the race completely. Borisjohnson is still miles and miles ahead of the others. The big race today is going to be for second place. Only 13 votes yesterday between the man who came fifth and the man who came second. So all to play for them. Im sure all the camps will see something in last nights debate they can take some heart from. The truth is, today is probably going to be hardest for rory stewart and sajid javid. Maybe rory stewart and sajid javid. Maybe rory stewart and sajid javid. Maybe rory stewart didnt quite reach some of the heights he has in recent days when he has been out with the selvie sticks speaking to the public. Im not sure he quite got over what you wa nt not sure he quite got over what you want a selvie. Sajid javid had that coup of getting everyone to agree to that investigation into islamophobia. Again, as he made enough break through to win the votes he needs this afternoon . Its another big high stakes day here. A lot of dogs will be going on this morning about who to keep in the race.
