and where did it all go wrong for rishi sunak if he did not win this?surprises have happened in british politics and they could happen again but the polling suggests that rishi sunak will not be the winner. where did it go wrong for him? his resignation triggered the wave of resignations that brought boris johnson down and what we have learned is that boris johnson remains popular among the tory party membership. the other thing is that liz truss has presented a message of optimism on the economy, continuation of boris johnson's optimistic message whereas rishi sunak has seen it as his responsibility to deliver hard economic truths which may not have gone down as well. he is expected to remain an mp. his personal financial situation seems to be less pressing than boris johnson's. if liz truss was to lose the 2024 election, he could make another leadership try then. tom: what can we expect from a prime minister truss if that is what is unveiled later today? >> well, her priorities are going to be dictated by the crisis she finds herself in, the war in uk

her rival rishi sunak says he cannot rule out blackouts this winter if he becomes pm.rgy, he said. the winner will be announced tomorrow and take office on tuesday. our political correspondent tony bonsignore reports. whoever wins the leadership race and becomes the next prime minister will be walking straight into an economic storm. they face one urgent question before all others — what to do about soaring energy bills? rishi sunak has long promised some financial support for everyone, with more on top for especially the most vulnerable. today, liz truss promised that if she wins, help is on the way. i understand that people are struggling with eye—watering energy bills, and there are predictions of even worse down the track. and i understand that. and i can say, laura, that i will act. if i'm elected as prime minister, i will act immediately on bills and on energy supply. she gave no details, as yet, and promised an announcement this week. it's an important shift in tone. when wooing tory party members, it was all about tax cuts and deregulation, but now voting has c

for weeks, liz truss and rishi sunak have toured the country.ing, it's fantastic to be here. here in darlington... it's fantastic to be here... here, in eastbourne. gosh, it's fantastic to be here... in birmingham. racking up miles, and, they hope, votes from conservative party members. i think liz truss is the right candidate for the job, - she has a bold economic plan. i do hope rishi will make a comeback. between them they've made dozens of policy pledges. what i will do from day one is reduce taxes. i'm the candidate in this contest who can say the nhs will be safe in my hands. on monday we'll find out which of them will have to deliver on their promises. liz truss is the favourite but it's a grim picture waiting for whoever wins. look, i think we are going to have so many challenges over the coming weeks from the high cost of inflation to the lower value of the pound, we still have challenges from brexit, for many small companies as well. we have so many ongoing issues, so a support package needs to be put in place immediately. the current

her opponent, the former chancellor rishi sunak, says "nothing is off the table" to ease the pressurewright reports. as borisjohnson packs up his premiership, tomorrow we will find out who is moving in. the new prime minister will enter number ten on tuesday, and one issue will dominate their first days in office: soaring energy bills for households and businesses. liz truss is widely expected to win the tory leadership contest, but she hasn't spelt out precisely what she would do to help people pay their energy bills. writing in the sunday telegraph, she promises immediate help, saying... average household energy bills are set to jump to around £3,500 next month, and liz truss says "sticking plasters" won't solve the fundamental problem. the issue dominated the campaign, which saw liz truss and rishi sunak tear into each other�*s economic plans and the record of the government. the outgoing prime minister says it's time for the tories to unite. in the sunday express, borisjohnson has a message for his successor. but labour's leader, sir keir starmer, said neither rishi sunak or liz t

in the conservative leadership contest liz truss beat the former chancellor rishi sunak byjust a marginme 21,000 votes of conservative party members. she won 57% of the valid votes cast. mr sunak took 43% and that was a less emphatic result than many experts had expected. for example, borisjohnson won 66% of the leadership vote in 2019. david cameron won 68% back in 2005. so it was quite a contrast. the new prime minister faces a daunting list of challenges to tackle including a cost of living crisis heavily tied to rising fuel bills. we'll be looking at the problems that lie ahead, and we'll be asking what kind of prime minister liz truss will be. we start with this report by our political editor chris mason. she arrived as foreign secretary and would leave us tomorrow's prime minister. the final act of the contest to replace borisjohnson, the outcome. inside an expectant crowd after a long campaign awaits the candidates.— the candidates. rishi sunak and liz truss. applause and then, the result. i applause and then, the result. ., . and then, the result. i give notice that liz truss _
