who arrived here came with guns. the times leads with the tory leadership race, as the two remaining candidates trade blows over their differing plans to manage the economy. the guardian reports on the same story, and says mr sunak�*s opponent liz truss leads him in a poll of conservative party members. but old leadership rival penny mordaunt is trying to prevent truss from winning by having her supporters vote for the former chancellor — according to the front page of the i. and finally the sun leads with news that bobby brazier — the son of the late tv personality jade goody — has been casted by eastenders to take on their new freddie slater role. lets us kick off. let me begin with the times. they have got more detail on the conservative party membership, but again, stressing as we have been hearing in the last few hours today that liz truss has got a

have their solution to the crisis that the country finds itself in with inflation in double digit figures now with the cost of living crisis. ., ., ., ., crisis. some other data from the ole that crisis. some other data from the pole that came _ crisis. some other data from the pole that came out _ crisis. some other data from the pole that came out today - crisis. some other data from the pole that came out today that i crisis. some other data from the | pole that came out today that the times are quoting saying tory members were asked about whether each candidate could be trusted to tell the truth and they were split on rishi sunak 48% saying yes but 40% saying no. federal—aid is, —— liz truss, 18% disagreeing. economic policy, the cost of living crisis that we are expected to see come character is also going to come to the fore, one would think. you know, remember who _ the fore, one would think. you know, remember who these _ the fore, one would think. you know, remember who these people - the fore, one would think. you know, remember who these people are. - the fore, one would think. you know, l remember who these people are. they are a very. _ remember who these people are. they are a very, very small section of our population with some fairly rigid _ our population with some fairly rigid views. at this very interesting to me that the are where it isn't_ interesting to me that the are where it isn't being mentioned. i have had so many— it isn't being mentioned. i have had so many messages, e—mails, quite

11:37 pm
next election? well with either of these candidates they look like a pretty modern forward—looking piety, i diverse party, labour has never had a female leader, or an ethnic minority leader who has become prime minister, so i think that's an interesting observation. the daily tele . ra - h interesting observation. the daily telegraph they — interesting observation. the daily telegraph they are _ interesting observation. the daily telegraph they are obviously - interesting observation. the daily i telegraph they are obviously leading on this story, no tax cuts until late next year. the question of honesty and morality is being brought up, rishi sunak said in his interview today saying liz truss's tax plans increasing debt will not be moral and could feel inflation. you know, morality and economics, interesting question for a man whose family were in non—domicile, avoided paying millions of pounds over the
11:38 pm
years to the exchequer to a time when he was chancellor, and he was also in possession, you know, of trying to get a green prior to the states, so the question of morality, being up front, being open, is not a wise card for him to play? hat being up front, being open, is not a wise card for him to play?— wise card for him to play? not at all, not wise card for him to play? not at all. not at _ wise card for him to play? not at all, not at all. _ wise card for him to play? not at all, not at all. you _ wise card for him to play? not at all, not at all. you know, - wise card for him to play? not at all, not at all. you know, so - wise card for him to play? not at. all, not at all. you know, so many members of— all, not at all. you know, so many members of boris johnson's cabinet where _ members of boris johnson's cabinet where amoral at best, and the morality— where amoral at best, and the morality question, if there is one is for— morality question, if there is one is for both— morality question, if there is one is for both of the to who are really suffering — is for both of the to who are really suffering and will be suffering more. — suffering and will be suffering more, the bottom 15%, 20%. what happens. _ more, the bottom 15%, 20%. what happens, when you do tax cuts some of the _ happens, when you do tax cuts some of the people who most benefit of the people with the most money. i don't _ the people with the most money. i don't want — the people with the most money. i don't want to tax cuts. i went to pay more — don't want to tax cuts. i went to pay more tax. i'm in the middle range, — pay more tax. i'm in the middle range, writes? i have a good life

11:43 pm
attacking herfor difficulty for her with many people attacking her for her perceived position on that, and i don't think it's fair to say it was just liz truss. there were many groups outside politics who tip to social media to attack penny mordaunt on that particular issue. it has got very bitter, and that issue in particular is a very, very toxic one with people taking very extreme positions. so i understand why penny mordaunt�*s followers feel hard done by. i don't understand why they would try to seek to get revenge, because ijust would try to seek to get revenge, because i just think that's a childish way of behaving, whether or not they can persuade conservatives and conservative party members, 160,000 of them who will vote to back rishi sunak instead of liz truss. it will be interesting to see. ., truss. it will be interesting to see, ., ., , truss. it will be interesting to see. ., ., , , .,~ ., see. no doubt we will be talking to ou in the see. no doubt we will be talking to you in the coming _ see. no doubt we will be talking to you in the coming weeks. - see. no doubt we will be talking to you in the coming weeks. we - see. no doubt we will be talking to you in the coming weeks. we will l you in the coming weeks. we will see how these numbers play out. let's move on if i can to the mail. their

11:53 pm
can almost taste victory. this is the last big test in the mountains, the last chance for the defending champion tadej pogacar, who is two minutes down on vinegarde to try to get them back. he couldn't shake off the man in yellow. thomas, having his best tour for years, briefly took the pair of them by surprise. but as tadej pogacar launched his next attack, thomas was caught and left behind. he is likely to have to settle for third place overall. then the incident that got everyone talking. vinegarde almost crashed, tadej pogacar hit the gravel and is down. vinegard could have taken advantage, but he didn't. waiting until his rival was back in the race. before timing his final move to perfection, five years ago, the dane was funding his career by packing fish in a factory now he was riding a wave for the man who has won the last two yellow jerseys. definitely a sportsman and very close to becoming a champion.
