He tweeted:"Tonight I was meant to be debating Boris Johnson on Sky, answering questions about our plans for Britain.
Mr Johnson's supporters were quick to criticise the hashtag and express disappointment in Mr Hunt for the tone of his campaign. The Conservative leadership frontrunner refused to say if the picture of him and his girlfriend was actually taken at the weekend.In an apparent jab at his rival, Mr Hunt said the personality of the next prime minister would be critical to whether Britain can get a new Brexit deal.
It will be on ITV. It will not be on Sky. Ideology loses again.
What's the point of yet another debate? The public isn't choosing the Party leader unless they are Party members. The time for a debate is a General Election. Members already know how they will vote.
BorisJohnson never confirmed he was taking part ya phannies
Avoided an ambush more likely
As he is entitled to do
What, a debate with poisonous Burley or foul mouthed Bolton? A debate that will whine on about irrelevant issues such as his feckin' socks or private life?! I don't blame him. He's better than that. He's better than you!
No he hasn’t, he never committed to debating on Sky, for fucks sake at least have the decency to tell the truth about your constant lying.
You are the definition of fakenews - no wonder he snubbed you!
It's not a public vote and 99.7% will not be voting so we don't care it he comes on sky or not
He’s not tried to divert attention. He knows Sky are biased like the BBC so he’s not going, he’s said that all along. And I doubt he gives a fig what you think about that. And we, the viewer who can’t stand biasedSky and biasedBBC don’t give a fig either. BorisForPM
What a good idea. Who wants to be asked unrelated questions by a bunch of leftie remainer amateurs.
Ya! Not on you FILTHY propaganda Channel! Good on him!👊💦
Try giving us some news that we might be interested in please instead of this rubbish that nobody is interested in Sky News is now like Ch4 BBC repetitive rubbish
I dont think so hes just don't want to debate in an atmosphere of a bias corporation. He is allowed to have a view.
Would sky bash Boris? Answer Yes. Would they keep it unbiased Answer NO. so why the fck would you expect Borris to go on there and level every thing you've got at him, whilst Hunt sits there letting you do hes job grinning like a Cheshire cat.. were not fooling for ya sh*t
I find it hard to believe that any serious news organisation would actually publish that.
Boy if this is what it's going to be all about, oh I not speaking with you or to you or is for that matter, is a great disrespect to the citizens of the United kingdom,what the ads wrong with you people, you all taking +-'*=,excuse my French,the blind leading the blind!
Bo Jo knows you're FAKE NEWS, that's why.
Aww, did Bojo not want to play yours and JezBots games! SkyHuntStitchupWasaNoGo
All the MSM manages to try is patience.
lol at you still crying about this.
Another smear from the Sunday sport , sorry I mean Sky News , both pretty much the same 🖕
hunt is a 48%-er
Who cares
What Boris is actually doing is trying to draw Hunt the Remainer out. We will only accept a PM who guarantees exit day as Oct 31st. Your nasty ‘get Boris’ debate is a fatuous waste of time
What will happen at the end of October is far more important than a Sky News programme.
Oh my, aren't you full of yourselves Sky? Why would you assume it had anything to do with you? What conceited arse writes the tags? His challenge is a lot bigger than your biased debate setup, get a grip.
We have no interest in your biased debates. Hunt is May in trousers, he has no chance.
You reap what you sow sky news. If you treat people with no respect.. Don't expect them to Come on your propaganda channel
Nobody cares about your debate Sky 😂😂 clearly you are burned by it as you won’t SHUT UP ABOUT IT 😂😂😂
Uter Bollx. He refused because he knew Sky just wanted a bayonet dummy, he knew he would not get a fair hearing from you. Get used to it.
What about Adam Boultons abuse of his college Beth Rigby ?
Give it a rest
Your supposed to be a fckin news channel. Not an opinionated gossip column.Get some fckin professionalism back ffs.This is a pathetic gossip like post from a supposed leading broadcaster. It's obvious who you support.Don't blame him for not turning up with Burley&Boulton to the4.
😂 As if anyone cares about your debate. You are certainly giving C4 a run for their money in the Brexit derangement stakes!
Sky 'News' seem to have a magnificent sense of self-entitlement.
Is televising party leadership contests part of an agenda to abolish the monarchy and turn England into a republic?
Who cares about a sky news debate? Burley the throttler or Boulton the bully abuser, nobody in their right mind would give either of them the time of day!
The only ones still going on about it are sky news the people don’t care that you are upset.
Not at all surprised being as biased as you are
Bojo is right do nothing stay quiet get brexit done, hunt can't be trusted with anything.
I’d do my best to get out of an interview with the obnoxious KayBurley too. Gestapo
No he more than likely knows sky is so anti boris that you will only twist & turn everything he says to suit your agenda! You're the CNN of the UK...totally biased
Good. We are more interested in that than Sky’s falling ratings and Ms Burleys hair style and even Adam’s rather poor temper believe it or not.
Sky News is a girlie-shithouse.
Know he has sensibly ignored arrogant impartial sky. But asked Jeremy an intelligent question. Sad sad sky.
GreyER_13 Jeremy could have put the spotlight back on Boris by answering the question. Why hasn’t he?
Sky in meltdown. Fabulous 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fake news
That’s a pretty loaded and biased ‘headline’ even for by your low standards.
Ratioooo
Perhaps, like a lot of people, he believes that Sky are irrelevant.
Who watches Sly News ? and their viewer numbers are so low you could fit them in phone booth they have all the influence of a Rubber Duck trying to tow a Super Tanker
It's the Boris Bashing show by the Sky remain supporting news channel. Do you as advertisers know that people are switching off over you unbiased reporting?
You have brought this on yourself. You are becoming more and more irrelevant and unprofessional so why would Johnson set himself up for a tirade of abuse?
Wow here's skynews with their 'opinion' again.. FakeNews BackBoris
Boo hoo
Everyone sees sky news for what it is
Worried about your ratings much?
Sky activism. I wonder if they file share with the BBC.
It worked as well....
Cancelling our Sky subscription felt so good ......
Sky , shamful shoddy and now shut up. He did not play your nasty little game. Report the news ,try that for a Change. Oh and my subscription! Gone!!!!!
Hunt wont, he's a remainer he wants to stay in, infact I think he will be a worse leader than May.
Millions in the streets demanding a debate on Sky
Good on you borris
Keep trying to turn voters off Boris eh? Is that because he actually talks about leaving the EU? Sad Sky tactics again.
He is diverting attention away from your odious bias News Cannel and presenters. Why anyone would want to appear on your channel is baffling. With presenters like Burley and Boulton your station is slipping into oblivion.
It's because you're shit.
It's not all about Sky news you know. I think he's asked a pretty crucial question concerning the country rather than ones concerning his love life.
Cant get your own way to ask Boris about his personal life again ? Ask Hunt about his 7 houses he forgot about.the failure to register info at companies house for 3 years and why he refused a live TV debate with junior doctors He also co authored a book about selling the NHS
Who cares? We the people dont because you Break are nothing but lackeys of the undemocratic EU Nightmare.
Don’t blame him, TV debate will just trawl over same Q&A’s already covered but try to impune the character of borisjohnson so best to avoid
You really dislike Boris don’t you sky.
pathetic....face your opponent and debate....damn if you scared if Jeremy Hunt...how will you re-negotiate with the EU 27....
As usual the useless people are fighting over the spoils of war instead of fixing Brexit issues. Hope the British will wake up from their long slumber and select the right candidate.
It’s cos you ain’t worth shit
skynews tries to divert attention away from the key Brexit issue that dominates British politics and should dominate the leadership contest by desperately continuing to flog the irrelevant story about Boris Johnson’s private life.
Get adamboultonSKY to sober up first and he might.
Good for him he obviously knows what a load of shit sky is.
I don't blame him: SkyNews is biassed.
When your hosts cannot hide their bias & anti Brexit stance it makes for cringe watching & very unprofessional. Boris has done the right thing--
He shoots, he scores, he's on the front page of every paper commiting to deliver Brexit. Nobody is interested in biased .
Exactly this gif, although swap the nice lady for the agenda driven Burley. ❌🇪🇺
Overstating your importance somewhat don’t you think. In fact your unsubtle bias is fast making you an irrelevance sky
He can’t because he’s got no intention of delivering it
Refusing to take part? You are supposed to ask people first,instead of assuming they will turn up!It’s on you that you did not confirm before you built the set ect!Anyway not that it matters to biased sky, but he had a previous engagement for tonight! It Was in his diary for ages
ChristinaDonn11 Nonsense !
Hunt is May in trousers,and he is a backstabbing snake in the grass,just like Gove. Go and ask the people what they think of Hunt. If they vote Hunt in, it will definitely be toast for the Tories,that's guaranteed. Then it will be the: Brexit Party at the next GE for millions.
Conservatives members don't want to see your heavily biased debates. Activist poor-quality 'journalists' like adamboultonSKY and BethRigby have ruined your channel, which I no longer watch due to its poor-quality content. We already have 16 hustings events.
Why do the Tories like this bumbling idiot. Really what on earth is going on in the UK. Are you lot all addicted to opiods and no longer see reason?
Hell hath no fury like a TV channel scorned.
The arrogance is mind boggling. What’s more important right now:
Grow up
No, Boris doesn’t care what people think about him not appearing on your shitty programme.
Boris Johnson has dodged questions about a 'staged' photograph with his girlfriend as he took questions during a live radio phone-in
I wouldn’t give yourself any credit for that.
Sky news we don’t care
Poor KayBurley no doubt shedding tears into her Eton Mess at a missed mega bucks opportunity your are an arrogant troupe of anti Brexit anti Democracy hacks well done Boris ignore the leftie propaganda merchants skynews
What would be the point of BJ taking part in a TV “debate” (otherwise known as a BashBoris bear baiting) The only people voting are the Tory members and BJ is taking parts in numerous events with Tory members.
It's a fair question
The best bit about Boris refusing to take part is Hunt has had a Q & A on twitter with normal, interesting, genuine people.
Honest Hunt Replied, Well, err, just a minute, hang about, but did state if anybody wants to buy a swanky Pad he has several that he got “Cheap” from a mate? ££££ they start at 500 thousand up to a Million each. Interested ask for Honest Jeremy.
LeslieH24367191 Get over it, Skysis.
Its fantastic that boris hasn't given way to sky. He would be interviewd KayBurley and either asked when he was going to live long enough to see brexit out or she would just grab him round the throat.
He declined an invitation, he didn't renege on a commitment. Maybe if he trusted SKY to be impartial, he would have considered it but he knew better.
LeslieH24367191 Hunt = Remain Boris = Leave No debate required.
Boris is a wee fearty.......sending out the wrong signals...is he worried that he doesn’t have the communication skills..or inability to keep his foot out of his mouth...not exactly leadership material
Actually you seem to be the only ones bothered about it, don’t blame him for not wanting to go on your remain supporting channel
A house divided against itself will fall.
An unappealing streak of entitlement on display there...
It’s concerning that nobody seems to care that Boris has no plan , can’t answer questions on Brexit and won’t debate it with his opponent. The same apathy put trump into power and we all know where that is taking the world. Stop slagging the messenger & tackle the message
Yeah... delivering Brexit is a sideshow and your little hatchet-job *should* be BJ's main focus... 🤦♂️
Funny watching all the simpletons upset at Sky News. Complaining yet following and commenting on Sky News every tweet.
The deadline they've committed to is looming & they've just voted to have 5wks off..honestly disgraceful. The 1 year they needed to put in a shift to put right some of their wrongs..nope best put their trotters up! Between that & a lying lunatic about to take the reigns-stuffed😳
To me to you to me to you the new chuckle brothers
He’s a power hungry Clown !!!
Are you sure you , the Beeb and Channel 4 dont use the same remoaner script writers?
