THE SNP and the Liberal Democrats lost a legal challenge against ITV today after the broadcaster excluded their party leaders from a televised election debate.
The High Court ruled ITV could go ahead with a head-to-head election debate featuring Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson.
During the hearing, Guy Vassall-Adams QC, representing the Lib Dems, said “the voice of Remain [had] been excluded” from the debate, causing “serious consequences for the fairness of the democratic process.”
