And leaders from most of the main parties have been taking part in a live tv debate on the bbc. Interestingly Prime Minister theresa may wasnt there she ruled out doing head to head tv debates and sent a senior minister, amber rudd, in her place.

I have been accused of that before. I thought he did quite well, especially after the disastrous interview on womens hour. Womans hour yesterday. He was very calm about everything and he didnt go down to the level of the others and he was a bit above the shouting and he was a bit above the shouting and the squabbling.
