the two newest entrants to the race are the first to set out detailed plans and both focus on economic policy. jeremy hunt, who lost to borisjohnson in the final two last time round promises to cancel a planned rise in corporation tax and reduce it further. he also would cut business rates to zero in the most deprived areas. sajid javid his resignation triggered the prime minister's final downfall, said he would scrap the recent rise in national insurance, cut income tax and are then planned and reduce fuel duty further. the plans set the two apart from the early frontrunner, the former chancellor richey sunak who suggested that tax cuts would have to wait. yet to formally enter the contest is liz truss, the foreign secretary. supporters of hers say she would move swiftly to ease the cost of living. the new chancellor announced he was running yesterday along with the transport secretary. the list of candidates is likely to get longer still before
