    The Tories have written to Ofcom to complain about Channel 4 including its decision to commission an ice sculpture of Johnson to represent him at tonight’s climate debate. They suggest this “provocative partisan stunt” could breach the Broadcasting Code.pic.twitter.com/y0VOaHW5JD

        Snowflakes melt too. But, well done Johnson for drawing attention to their inadequacies.

        It is not an ice sculpture OF Boris Johnson, it is just an ice sculpture.

        That's probably the most politically biased thing they could do. Hardly surprising he refused the invite.

        He refused the invite, so they chose to make a point. He should have shown leadership and chosen to attend, instead of sending his... *checks notes* ... Dad?!

        It's hardly partisan, is it? Ice sculptures that don't depict either person, but symbolise the melting of the ice caps. The letter is, in part, based on a false premis. It's also worth pointing out that @theresa_may's non appearance in 2017 saw a move away from @Conservatives
