The pair set out strikingly different approaches to the role of deputy leader, with Powell saying she would be an independent voice who would speak truth to the senior leadership, including Keir Starmer.

Phillipson is widely seen as No 10's choice for the role, with Powell recently ousted from the cabinet as leader of the House of Commons.
