Labour criticise Cameron for dropping out of Citizens UK debate last minute

Tomorrow there will be a pre-election event hosted by Citizens UK, which all of the main party leaders – including David Cameron – were set to attend. But Cameron has dropped out last minute.

Ed Miliband Nick Clegg, however, are still set to speak.

Labour have criticised this move, saying that Cameron is ducking out of this event, just as he did the TV leaders debate. Lucy Powell, Vice Chair of Labour’s Election Campaign, has said:

“David Cameron is ducking the last chance before polling day for people to see the main party leaders go head-to-head. Just as he did when he dodged a TV debate with Ed Miliband, David Cameron is showing that he can’t defend his record. He has nothing to offer working people.”
