Corbyn joins BBC1 debate !

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says he will take part in a seven-way BBC general election debate later.

Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, UKIP's Paul Nuttall, SNP deputy leader Angus Robertson, Green co-leader Caroline Lucas and Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood will participate.

Theresa May has refused to take part in any debates, so Home Secretary Amber Rudd will be representing the Tories.
Labour had said that Mr Corbyn would not attend unless Mrs May was there.

Confirming he would be taking part, Mr Corbyn criticised the Tories for what he called "a stage-managed arms-length campaign".

"Refusing to join me in Cambridge tonight would be another sign of Theresa May's weakness, not strength," he added.
