Gordon Brown ‘ready for live TV debate with David Cameron’ - by Anne McElvoy
A presidential-style TV debate between Gordon Brown and David Cameron could be staged at the general election, Lord Mandelson has told the Standard. In an exclusive interview, the Prime Minister's most powerful ally suggested that Mr Brown would become the first incumbent of No10 to agree to the idea. "I don't think Gordon would have a problem with that," he said. "While Cameron is good with words, he doesn't have the ideas or policies to back them. I think people would see through the smile.
A TV debate would expose the Tory leader's weaknesses, he argued. “Cameron lacks substance and he might come across as someone who exudes effortless superiority in public, but loses his rag in private.”
