Below a collage of animated Jeremy Hunt pictures sits the Sunday Times’s lead story, which says the new chancellor has taken “full control” by delaying Liz Truss’s flagship 1p cut to income tax by a year. The 19% rate will now take effect in April 2024 when Rishi Sunak previously said it should, the paper reports. Mr Hunt’s self-proclaimed “clean slate” on the mini-budget will add to the sense among some Tories that the PM is “increasingly powerless”, it adds. As for Mr Sunak, the PM’s former leadership rival, allies tell the ST he’s ready to replace Ms Truss if asked.
