David Cameron accused of running away from TV debate

Chicken David Cameron’s objection to TV election debates is part of a Tory strategy to fight the “dirtiest” campaign since 1992, Labour’s campaign chief said yesterday.

Douglas Alexander accused the Prime Minister of trying to “run away from his record and the British public.”

Debates watched by 10 million people in 2010, he said, were made more important as the Tories attempt to avoid scrutiny and vilify Labour leader Ed Miliband with “smears” similar to those faced by his predecessor Neil Kinnock.
