Latest updates: Tory leadership candidates clash over tax cuts as Truss speaks on national crime targets
Good morning. This is the third Tory leadership contest in six years taking place while the party is in government, but in 2016 and 2019 the elections were both dominated by the single issue of Brexit. This is not the case this time, and one consequence of that is that Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak – the two candidates still in the race – are having, or choosing, to say a lot more about policy in a range of areas.
And they are at it again this morning, with both making announcements.
