i m annita mcvelgh in westminster, on a busy day in politics. rishi sunak launches bid for the topjob after an endorsement from the deputy prime minister dominic raab and an attack on his leadership rivals. he said it was not credible to promised tax cuts now. we need a return to traditional conservative economic values, and that means honesty and responsibility, not fairy tales. the transport secretary grant shapps has pulled out of the leadership race and is also backing rishi sunak. and in the last few minute, priti patel has also said she will not be standing. the remaining candidates have until 6pm to secure the backing of at least 20 colleagues.
