The way David Cameron watches Glastonbury has left everyone baffled
Headline performances at Glastonbury have been known to send shivers down the spines of music fans across the nation.
So much so, in fact, David Cameron has to throw a few logs on the fire to warm himself up again.
At least, that's the only plausible explanation we can offer for the Prime Minister's description of how he watches the UK's favourite music festival.

Did David Cameron really just say he enjoys watching Glasto from home in front of a warm fire? In June.

That's right. In the middle of the summer, the man who runs the country has claimed he will be sitting by a blazing fireside to watch the likes of Adele on TV.
It came during a Q&A session being hosted by Cameron with the yoof in Devon, as he appealed for them to vote to remain in the EU this June.
He was grilled by one person about why the referendum, scheduled for June 23, was being made to clash with Glasto.
A student complains to Cameron that June 23 is "a terrible day for students" to have the EU referendum because it's Glastonbury

Needless to say, his bizarre viewing arrangements led to near-universal bafflement.

Cameron advises the student to register for a postal vote, then tells her he enjoys watching Glastonbury on TV "beside the fire" (?)

PM @David_Cameron says he likes to watch #Glastonbury from comfort of his own home in front of a "warm fire". Festival is in summer. Hmm.

Totally agree with Cameron the Glasto best enjoyed in front of the TV. Although what he's doing with the fire on in June...

Oh for goodness sake Cameron claims he watches Glastonbury in front of an open fire. IN JUNE??

Surely SamCam cannot be tolerating this.
Still baffled by the thought of the PM sitting in front of a fire (in summer) watching Glastonbury. Bet SamCam's like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING"?

Leave campaigners found a way to be furious about the claims.
Cameron jokes about watching Glastonbury by a 'warm fire', during the height of summer? #DontPatroniseMe

If you're at Glastonbury this summer, dancing around in the sunshine, please spare a thought for the chilly Conservative leader in his apparently poorly insulated home.
