then, starting with... the financial times is leading on the conservative leadership contest — they report that senior conservative party figures are "plotting to rapidly thin out the i is also focussing on the leadership contest but they describe it as "sunak versus one of the rest". the guardian�*s front page is about the leadership contest. they report that tory rivals are "scrambling for supporters" meanwhile the mirror�*s front page is dedicated to ambulance crews being stuck outside a&e. they say "patients are waiting up to 27 hours" and the daily star is all about the heatwave, claiming britain will be hotter than hawaii tomorrow so, let�*s begin... tory rivals scramble for supporters, this is all about how many supporters they will need to get through to the next round, and it is all still up in the air? we

through to the next round, and it is all still up in the air?— all still up in the air? we are expecting — all still up in the air? we are expecting to _ all still up in the air? we are expecting to have _ all still up in the air? we are expecting to have the - all still up in the air? we are expecting to have the big - all still up in the air? we are - expecting to have the big decision from the 1922 committee tomorrow, which will spell out the timeline of how this leadership election is going to work. lots of different papers have different speculation, or different predictions as to what this decision might be, it seems like quite a common theme is that the thresholds for the number of backers that each candidate will need will be relatively high, purely because we have a very short space of time for this campaign to run before we will break up for summer recess. so, the higher the threshold is for supporters to begin with, the more the list gets whittled down to a smaller, more manageable number, rather than having any old tom dick and harry who would make the list run on for far too long. and harry who would make the list run on forfar too long. if it and harry who would make the list run on for far too long.— run on for far too long. if it is 25, which _ run on for far too long. if it is 25, which is _ run on for far too long. if it is 25, which is the _ run on for far too long. if it is 25, which is the number- run on for far too long. if it is 25, which is the number that | run on for far too long. if it is i 25, which is the number that the guardian is pumping for, that is going to see a lot of candidates

reason why they have done that in such a short space of time is that there is a massive rush on this leadership contest, because we have just under two weeks to get that entire thing up and running. liz truss is one of the later people to come out, but really they have, anyone else who is planning to run in a serious way, i think tomorrow is the final day that we will hear from anyone. is the final day that we will hear from anyone-— is the final day that we will hear from an one. ., . ., ,�*, from anyone. the financial times's front -ae~ from anyone. the financial times's front page says _ from anyone. the financial times's front page says that _ from anyone. the financial times's front page says that rancour- from anyone. the financial times's front page says that rancour is - front page says that rancour is rising, do you think we will see more blue on blue attacks? i would not be surprised _ more blue on blue attacks? i would not be surprised at _ more blue on blue attacks? i would not be surprised at all, _ more blue on blue attacks? i would not be surprised at all, there's - not be surprised at all, there's been _ not be surprised at all, there's been so — not be surprised at all, there's been so much nastiness in the run—up to this _ been so much nastiness in the run—up to this leadership election. there was a _ to this leadership election. there was a dossier doing the rounds about rishi sunak— was a dossier doing the rounds about rishi sunak which was attacking his record _ rishi sunak which was attacking his record as _ rishi sunak which was attacking his record as chancellor, i am sure there _ record as chancellor, i am sure there will— record as chancellor, i am sure there will be a lot more of that coming — there will be a lot more of that coming up, great fun for those on the sidelines but less fun for those ending _ the sidelines but less fun for those ending in _ the sidelines but less fun for those ending in the election. this

attacks on each other, because we have had nadhim zahawi today pledging to reveal his tax records if he is elected prime minister, and that�*s come about because of attacks on his personalfinances. i think taxes are really huge theme for this year�*s election. taxes are really huge theme for this year's election-— year's election. they are all settin: year's election. they are all setting out _ year's election. they are all setting out that _ year's election. they are all setting out that as - year's election. they are all setting out that as their - year's election. they are all| setting out that as their first year's election. they are all - setting out that as their first kind of area? it setting out that as their first kind of area? , ., ., ., of area? it is worth noting that none of these _ of area? it is worth noting that none of these pledges - of area? it is worth noting that none of these pledges is - of area? it is worth noting that. none of these pledges is remotely costed, _ none of these pledges is remotely costed, if— none of these pledges is remotely costed, if labour were setting out any of _ costed, if labour were setting out any of these pledges they would be taken _ any of these pledges they would be taken apart. interesting times coming — taken apart. interesting times coming up as candidates talk about how they— coming up as candidates talk about how they are going to fund these tax pouches, _ how they are going to fund these tax pouches, how people on the sidelines react to _ pouches, how people on the sidelines react to it— pouches, how people on the sidelines react to it as — pouches, how people on the sidelines react to it as well —— tax pledges. are they— react to it as well —— tax pledges. are they going to have time to cost these, given we are just weeks away

really compare. out of all the candidates, rishi sunak does have one of the best claims to have actually been closest to running the country, for a long period of time, but also during a pandemic. the polling shows us that rishi sunak is doing very well, he has the support of several mps already, so he is in the lead, but things can change very quickly, and you never know what might happen in the next few days. certainly in the past we have seen names like david cameron, who wasn�*t a big name or a names like david cameron, who wasn�*t a big name ora big names like david cameron, who wasn�*t a big name or a big contender, and comments take the race? sign that immediately after david cameron resigned, immediately after david cameron resianed, , ,., , immediately after david cameron resianed, , , , . immediately after david cameron resianed, , , . , resigned, everybody expect boris johnson to stand _ resigned, everybody expect boris johnson to stand then, _ resigned, everybody expect boris johnson to stand then, see - resigned, everybody expect boris johnson to stand then, see there| resigned, everybody expect boris i johnson to stand then, see there is johnson to stand then, see there is always— johnson to stand then, see there is always a _ johnson to stand then, see there is always a surprise around the corner.

is always a surprise around the corner. ts liz— always a surprise around the corner. ts liz truss — always a surprise around the corner. is liz truss going to be the main opposition, how will they handle that? will have to find a way to take her down, as it were? she has certainly seen _ take her down, as it were? she has certainly seen as _ take her down, as it were? she has certainly seen as this _ take her down, as it were? she has certainly seen as this dialling - take her down, as it were? she has certainly seen as this dialling of- certainly seen as this dialling of the conservative party grassroots, so we have to remember that this entire contest, it is not a general election, it is not being put to the vote of the entire country, which seems crazy given that it is a new prime minister we are going to be having, it isjust prime minister we are going to be having, it is just mps and tory party members, so the main people that you need to appeal to our these conservative party grassroots members. they will be having at the back of their mind, we need to have a leader that will go on and win a general election, but the gallery that they are playing to now either conservative party members, and we know that liz truss is very popular among them. know that liz truss is very popular among them-— know that liz truss is very popular amona them. . ., ~ , ., ., ., among them. what mps are going to want is an mp _ among them. what mps are going to want is an mp that _ among them. what mps are going to want is an mp that will— among them. what mps are going to want is an mp that will secure -

that tory party members do have that range of candidates to choose from. i suppose it is a balancing act between keeping the diversity and keeping to the timeframe that in mind for this.— keeping to the timeframe that in mind for this. lets have a look at the mirror's _ mind for this. lets have a look at the mirror's front _ mind for this. lets have a look at the mirror's front page, - mind for this. lets have a look at the mirror's front page, they - mind for this. lets have a look at the mirror's front page, they say| the mirror�*s front page, they say that ambulances are in the worst ever crisis. i that ambulances are in the worst ever crisis-— ever crisis. i don't mean this will be a surprise _ ever crisis. i don't mean this will be a surprise to _ ever crisis. i don't mean this will be a surprise to anybody - ever crisis. i don't mean this will be a surprise to anybody who - ever crisis. i don't mean this will| be a surprise to anybody who has ever crisis. i don't mean this will- be a surprise to anybody who has had to deal— be a surprise to anybody who has had to deal with _ be a surprise to anybody who has had to deal with the ambulance service close-up, — to deal with the ambulance service close-up, it— to deal with the ambulance service close—up, it is showing how some people _ close—up, it is showing how some people are — close—up, it is showing how some people are having to wait more than 24 hours. _ people are having to wait more than 24 hours, and that they are stacked up, 24 hours, and that they are stacked up. waiting — 24 hours, and that they are stacked up, waiting fortheir 24 hours, and that they are stacked up, waiting for their patients. there — up, waiting for their patients. there are _ up, waiting for their patients. there are some pretty awful stories in this— there are some pretty awful stories in this piece. there is one crew in london _ in this piece. there is one crew in london who— in this piece. there is one crew in london who had an eight and a half hour wait, — london who had an eight and a half hourwait, one london who had an eight and a half hour wait, one of the longest delays, — hour wait, one of the longest delays, one west midlands crew was
