Pathetic

I presume they'll be sticking to the attack messages of 'he doesn't sing the national anthem, he doesn't wear a tie, a threat to national security and your family's security' rather than debating policy, and the electorate will lap it up

She likely knows her deceit would be more exposed in live debates.
She should be made to since all others recently have given in to doing the debates.

Hopefully she will get due derision in the media for refusing then.
What does she intend to try to hide from voters that she cowardly runs away from the debate challenges.

This is the second Conservative PM that's been petty about the debates

Says it all

An election will hopefully mean the Brexit will be more straight forward and perhaps save money with less squabbling, if she wins that is.

Does this mean someone will be taking her place, or will the Conservatives have no voice for TV debates?

Because she's crap at being put on the spot, she needs a script to reel off the lies.

As of yet there's none scheduled so it could mean none at all, hopefully they go ahead and they just empty chair the silly bitch

But then again the broadcasters pandered to Cameron's whining back in 2015 so who knows

I don't think she should be allowed to back out if one is scheduled, no excuses

She hasn't given a reason as far as I'm aware so I can only assume it's cowardice. Such strong leadership

How, she never answers anything.

He is admittedly ineffective most weeks but he at least does his job and asks questions without resorting to personal insults.

That's all she can do is insult while not doing her job at all by actually answering the questions put.

Maybe because there is nothing significant to tell. I would rather wait for an accurate, informed answer than constant speculation. Saying too much too soon could potentially have a detrimental affect on negotiations.

Brillo I have a chocolate teapot to sell you, it is in perfect working condition and is Brexit branded so you know it's going to be good. £100. Also when you do the transfer... and I know this is a huge favour... but could you also send £10,000 because I am a Nigerian prince and I need money fast. My accounts are currently blocked but will be unblocked soon... when they are I will send you back £50,000 in just one week. While I have your attention... I'd also like you to know that I have recently developed a piece of software that allows you to win stock market trades with 90% accuracy!
