Well, Andrew Neil didn't disappoint. Jeremy Hunt came across as indecisive and willing to sacrifice businesses and the lives of those who are poor, but could be in work. The clash with Johnson was intense, and he was evasive, sloppy, and would be a dangerous PM. #BBCOurNextPM
We needed #BBCOurNextPM three weeks ago, shortly after Gove was eliminated from the #ToryLeadeshipContest. It's unfortunate that neither of these men have been sufficiently scrutinised with forensic questions and a determined interviewer like @afneil until today. /2
It's entirely possible that a majority of ballot papers have already been submitted, so #BBCournextPM might have no impact on the result. It might, however, play a part in a potential confidence vote when the next PM takes office. /3
The Sajid Javid #ToryLeadeshipContest launch delayed by more than an hour due to vote in Parliament. Organisers have opened the bar to keep spirits up amongst waiting supporters and press. This could get lively. 
The Home Secretary’s late arrival means it will be a rush for colleagues to get his speech on early evening news bulletins. An early victory for Boris Johnson, who’s launch came before lunch.
