Boris Johnson set to snub election leaders’ debate on climate crisis
Channel 4 to broadcast first such discussion – but prime minister unlikely to participate
The first ever election leaders’ debate focusing on the climate crisis will be broadcast by Channel 4 next week, with the prime minister the only major party leader set to be absent.
Channel 4 News said it was awaiting confirmation from Boris Johnson as to whether he would take part and could place an empty chair in the place of the PM if he declines to attend.
