The Tory leadership battle is gathering pace today as favourite Kemi Badenoch formally launches her bid - warning the party must 'renew' to claw back power.
But while two will soon fall by the wayside the contest still has until November 2 to run, with complaints that the Conservatives are focused on infighting while Labour pushes through a slew of controversial policies. Alongside Ms Badenoch's pitch, former home secretary James Cleverly will lay out his goal of abolishing stamp duty - designed to appeal to the party rank and file
At his own event, Mr Cleverly is set to argue for a smaller state that does 'fewer things very well, not everything badly'. Ms Badenoch will take aim at Labour for being 'dishonest' about the state of the UK finances, having signed off more than £10billion in public sector pay hikes.
