Jeremy Corbyn challenges Theresa May to join him in tonight’s BBC debate
Announcing that he will attend the televised debate in Cambridge,
Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Labour Party, said:
“I will be taking part in tonight’s debate because I believe
we must give people the chance to hear and engage with the leaders of the main
parties before they vote.
“I have never been afraid of a debate in my life. Labour’s
campaign has been about taking our polices to people across the country and
listening to the concerns of voters.
“The Tories have been conducting a stage-managed arms-length
campaign and have treated the public with contempt. Refusing to join me in
Cambridge tonight would be another sign
of Theresa May’s weakness, not strength.”
