The Sun: SAJID Javid, Penny Mordaunt and Liz Truss today launch their bids to be PM — with promises to slash crippling fuel taxes.

Mr Javid said he will cut fuel duty by 10p within days if he gets the top job while Ms Mordaunt vowed to halve VAT on petrol and diesel.

Backers of Ms Truss said that like Margaret Thatcher she wants to slash taxes to unleash growth.

With ten Tory big beasts preparing to enter the fray, every single one of them have or are expected to vow to cut taxes — apart from former Chancellor Rishi Sunak.

His replacement Nadhim Zahawi will fire the starting gun on his bid to get into No10 with a promise to cut tax for workers and firms.

But even before the Tory leadership contest officially starts tonight, it has already descended into mud-slinging and accusations of dirty tricks. Two campaigns even reportedly passed allegedly compromising information to Labour in a bid to derail rivals.
