There won’t be a general election in Ireland until the Spring I can assure you of that.

Usually no more than 4 weeks campaigning.

Channel four seem like they want to be provocative.

Hmm Sky go to an advert just as Jeremy starts speaking about Tory NHS evidence, then they come back from the break to discuss Twitter users that have deceased... Sounds like a topic that could have waited

Boris Johnson seems like he doesn't want to be questioned on any policies.


Any confirmation on the line up for the multi-party debates on the BBC and ITV this weekend?

BBC One Scotland has at 7.30pm The Andrew Neil Interviews Episode 3, but I can't find any indication who is being interviewed.

EDIT: The EPG and website are wrong. We're getting Fake Britain.

Episode 3 has now been scheduled for Monday, with no guest listed yet. Jo Swinson is on Tuesday, and Nigel Farage on Wednesday. Tuesday's has displaced The One Show, I guess because there's not as much to drop later in the evening.

Just seen the Sky News debate is officially cancelled as Boris / Jeremy both turned it down.

I doubt they'll put any ice sculpture of a chair or Boris Johnson. Couldn't Ofcom interpret that quite clearly to be a breach of election regulations relating to impartiality directly against the Conservatives?


The way I see it, they were offered an opportunity to respond to any questions Channel 4 were going to ask. But they turned it down.

A chat on a breakfast programme with other guests also in the same show is still not comparable to a one to one interview in prime-time.

Strikes me as arrogant that some broadcasters (normally Channel 4) can declare that they are hosting a leaders debate before they actually get agreement from the leaders, then call them out for not attending. It’s not like the leaders aren’t opening themselves up to scrutiny throughout the campaign. There needs to be a better structure for this.
