10:38 pm
tomorrow's front pages. let's start with the i, who say the race is on to pick the next tory leader. rishi sunak announced his bid for the topjob. a picture of him as a young boy on the front of the daily mail. tory "traitors" face a red wall backlash according to the daily mail. the telegraph calls rishi sunak the serious candidate. he is being accused by treachery by fellow tories in the ft because of events of the last few days. don't listen to fairytales, the sound bite in the times, from rishi sunak�*s slick campaign video that was released on friday evening.
10:39 pm
the mirror pays tribute to the older brother of tv star dec, who has died aged 55. the sun with a quote from dec: "my darling brother has gone". kevin and martin, who would have thought we would be sat here, last week or whenever it was, and we would be reporting on a tory leadership struggle and a new prime minister so soon? let's kick off, kevin, with the times. don't listen to fairy tales, rishi sunak tells tory voters. presumably the implication being that is what they've been listening to from boris johnson. they've been listening to from boris johnson. ., they've been listening to from boris johnson. . �* , ., johnson. yeah, it's what we call in the newsnaper_ johnson. yeah, it's what we call in the newspaper trade _ johnson. yeah, it's what we call in the newspaper trade a _ johnson. yeah, it's what we call in the newspaper trade a thinly - johnson. yeah, it's what we call in | the newspaper trade a thinly veiled swipe at borisjohnson. he says don't listen to fairytales, it's time for seriousness, basically. don't listen to fairytales, it's time forseriousness, basically. it doesn't take time for seriousness, basically. it doesn't take a time forseriousness, basically. it doesn't take a genius to work out who he is having a pop at there.
10:40 pm
clearly there were big gaps in economic thinking between boris johnson and rishi sunak. essentially, the prime minister, the outgoing prime minister wanted to spend money and cut taxes, and rishi sunak wanted to be more of a fiscal conservative, didn't want to cut taxes until he felt the economy could afford it. that was the straw that broke the camel's back and led to rishi sunak�*s departure from the cabinet. so now it's his opportunity to get on the front foot. it's no surprise he has made a leadership challenge. i think we've known for quite some time that he had ambitions for the top job, and quite some time that he had ambitions for the topjob, and he and his team will be very happy with the front pages tonight. his face is everywhere on the front pages. he's definitely going to be the one to beat. . ~ , ., definitely going to be the one to beat. w , ., ,., definitely going to be the one to beat. w , ., ., beat. picking up on some of the other detail, _ beat. picking up on some of the other detail, martin, _ beat. picking up on some of the other detail, martin, in - beat. picking up on some of the other detail, martin, in the - beat. picking up on some of the | other detail, martin, in the front page piece. quite a lot of information on other candidates. some intriguing new ones, kemi

this campaign publicly what was expressed privately behind closed doors between the chancellor rishi sunak... in other words, doors between the chancellor rishi sunak... in otherwords, a fundamental disagreement on tax and spend. you don't get more fundamental than that. this could be a painful time for the conservatives, couldn't it? i think it could be- _ conservatives, couldn't it? i think it could be. they _ conservatives, couldn't it? i think it could be. they are _ conservatives, couldn't it? i think it could be. they are at _ conservatives, couldn't it? i think it could be. they are at a - conservatives, couldn't it? i think it could be. they are at a bit - conservatives, couldn't it? i think it could be. they are at a bit of. conservatives, couldn't it? i think it could be. they are at a bit of al it could be. they are at a bit of a crossroads. whoever leads the party now, the decision facing the party now, the decision facing the party now is what kind of party that they want to be? do they want to continue down the populist brexit route embodied by borisjohnson or do they want to become more of an old—fashioned one nation old —fashioned one nation conservative old—fashioned one nation conservative party? you have other candidates who might feel that particular position, clearly rishi sunak is trying to make that pitch as well. it's notjust a question of picking a new leader, i think it's picking a new leader, i think it's picking a new vision for the conservative party. it will be fascinating to see how they campaign
