Pity the political junkie, hooked on the Tory leadership hustings

The live streams are often stuck, buffering. Well, what can you expect from a party with a reputation for appealing to old buffers?

The ballot papers have been sent out to the Conservative Party’s 160,000 members. Yet, strangely, the hustings at which members can quiz Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt are only at the halfway point.

I have watched six of the eight so far, not in the audience but streamed on various websites. The party has not exactly made it easy, and it can be stressful. Westminster journalists like me exchange intel when someone finds a live stream.

Sometimes it cuts out or buffers. Well, what can you expect from a party with a reputation for appealing to old buffers?
