TV debate petition reaches 10,000 signatures

More than 10,000 people have signed a petition calling for an independent commission to ensure TV debates become a regular fixture of UK elections.

The level of support means the government is now required to respond to the petition, which was set up as part of Sky News’ Make Debates Happen campaign.
