There are 3 reasons Mrs May will not appear:

1. Such events favour the smaller parties;

2. As the Conservatives are, at present, said to be on course for victory, there is nothing to gain and everything to lose;

3. She is poor at dealing with hostile interrogation.

If Mrs May will not appear, then Mr Corbyn is correct to say he will not attend: see reason 1 above.

It would be a great step forward if she actually answered the questions posed by reporters at set piece cheerathons! Now she is exposed to the full glare of publicity it is clear she does not like being challenged and she is vindictive. The Abu Qatada episode resulted in her calling for the UK to withdraw from the European Court of Human Rights. Can you imagine what the rest of Europe and beyond would think of that. Strong and stable leadership is the opposite of what she displays!

No need for a debate up here; Scottish Labour is supporting several tories and a couple of lib-dems anyway.

If debating on live tv was in her interest then she would be there but if it is only in the interest of the whole voting public then of course she won’t.
