BREAKING: Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn to go head to head in TV debate
But the Lib Dems are less than impressed with the broadcaster’s failure to include party leader Jo Swinson in the main debate.
This evening the party tweeted: ‘Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn are running scared of debating the woman leader of the strongest party of Remain, and broadcasters shouldn’t help them to stitch up the debates.’ ITV said it also plans to hold another debate later in the campaign at which the Liberal Democrats, the SNP, the Brexit Party, Plaid Cymru as well as Labour and the Conservative Party will have the opportunity to be represented by their leader or another senior figure.Meanwhile STV, which broadcasts to parts of Scotland, plan to hold its own debate with Scottish candidates.
