announced on monday. the observer says front runner liz truss is being warned not to pack her cabinet with borisjohnson loyalists, if she wins the leadership race. truss tells the telegraph she'll do away with sticking plasters on the ecomomy and the energy crisis. the front page picture is of our bbc colleague george alagiah, speaking to paper about his cancer. the sunday times reports on president zelensky saying the energy crisis is a price worth paying to avoid world war. and finally the sunday mirror, says some tory mps are plotting to �*bring back boris�* over a lack of confidence, particularly in leadership candidate liz truss. if she wins the leadership race. welcome to you at home and welcome to you both, a lot of politics on the pages as you would imagine given what is coming up next week. that start with the sunday telegraph

eleanor, kick us off, the headline is no more sticking plasters on energy, vows trust, so what is liz truss saying?— truss saying? this is going to be the big question _ truss saying? this is going to be the big question of _ truss saying? this is going to be the big question of her - truss saying? this is going to be i the big question of her premiership going forward. energy bills are the number one concern of the public that he is effectively saying she will have a twofold approach, she wants there to be action on bills long—term and also something that will help people at the moment but what she is really pushing is she does not want to be a sticking plaster as she puts it, a temporary solution, she has ruled out hand—outs early in the contest and what she wants is a larger solution to the whole issue of energy prices. and benedicte, on that point, we have been calling all summer, every single journalist who speaks to a leadership candidate, for more detail and it has been pretty frustrating so what do you make of this? �* ., frustrating so what do you make of this? �* . , ., ., ~

serious questions about how the energy market operates to be allowed to get into this system. interesting that she is teasing out that she might put a cap on the wholesale price is not on the energy cap, but that wholesale prices. it interesting to note that she mentions business as a huge concern, obviously there is no cap for businesses and some are talking about their energy bills quadrupling, going up from £60,000 a year £400,000 and that is just not sustainable. year £400,000 and that is 'ust not sustainable.— sustainable. absolutely right, you are riaht sustainable. absolutely right, you are right to _ sustainable. absolutely right, you are right to tease _ sustainable. absolutely right, you are right to tease that _ sustainable. absolutely right, you are right to tease that out - sustainable. absolutely right, you| are right to tease that out because we have had businesses here talking of extraordinary rises in bills. going back to politics and the front page of the observer with a headline is to pack cabinet withjohnson toilets at your peril liz truss is told. a warning for liz truss. the presumption is that she wins on

of ministers ripping apart the party effectively, resigning very publicly, and it has called into question for a lot of people about whether the conservative party can go on together. at the final hustings in london this week, a lot of people were talking about this concern, that the party is really divided. its quite interesting to see borisjohnson being the one to say, let's all come back together, when many would argue that he actually caused the current situation. the big concern now is the 2024 election which is not that far away in political terms. of the conservative party are not polling well at the moment, they are pretty far behind labour. and the big worry is that if they don't come back together after this, they could be on track to lose the next election after come at that point, 14 years in power. i think that is the undercurrent of his warning, that if you don't come back together, lose

the next election unless you actually get together. it’s the next election unless you actually get together. it's worth remindin: actually get together. it's worth reminding ourselves _ actually get together. it's worth reminding ourselves just - actually get together. it's worth reminding ourselvesjust how i actually get together. it's worth - reminding ourselvesjust how much reminding ourselves just how much mud has been slung by conservative, notjust between liz truss and rishi sunak, but the early days of the leadership contest with many more people, criticism from even more angles. it's difficult, after that has all been made public, to try and come together. has all been made public, to try and come together-— come together. yes, and i think the conservative _ come together. yes, and i think the conservative party _ come together. yes, and i think the conservative party will _ come together. yes, and i think the conservative party will clearly - come together. yes, and i think the conservative party will clearly be i conservative party will clearly be looking _ conservative party will clearly be looking at whether it is the seven week— looking at whether it is the seven week hiatus many described as a zombie _ week hiatus many described as a zombie government, a caretaker prime minister— zombie government, a caretaker prime minister who has been flying jets, had at _ minister who has been flying jets, had at least two holidays, taking part or _ had at least two holidays, taking part or witnessed a police raid to the great — part or witnessed a police raid to the great astonishment of the person who is— the great astonishment of the person who is being raided done all kinds of things— who is being raided done all kinds of things but who promised not to make _ of things but who promised not to make any— of things but who promised not to make any momentous decisions. could the country— make any momentous decisions. could the country afford seven weeks of a
