HACKING FEARS DELAY VOTE

VOTING in Britain’s Conservative party leadership election has been delayed after government cyber experts raised concerns over the potential hacking of members’ ballots. The delay might benefit Rishi Sunak, pictured, who trails in polls of Tory members against Liz Truss in the race to be prime minister. A letter from party headquarters to members, revealed by the Spectator magazine this week, said ballots due to go out this week would arrive by August 11 at the latest. |
