She bottled Wednesday’s TV debate, snubbed an invitation from Woman’s Hour and is now refusing to give any interviews to BBC local radio -Theresa May is the ultimate shy Tory.

With her confidence shaken by weak and wobbly media performances, the Tory PM seems to have been ordered into hiding by Lynton Crosby.

First, Telegraph journalist Christopher Hope reported that she had knocked back an interview request from Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.

Then Guardian columnist Owen Jones revealed a message he received from a BBC staff member saying that May was refusing to do a single interview for local radio stations.

I've been sent this, I don't know it's true. Can @CCHQPress please confirm? Because if so there are now searching questions to be asked. pic.twitter.com/T0D90jYEcG — Owen Jones (@OwenJones84) June 1, 2017

After her approval rating hit a record low yesterday, the Tories know the more the public see of May the less they like and trust her.

So she’s now running scared from an election that she called because she arrogantly took the public’s support for granted.

If she’s not up to a radio interview, then she’s not up to the job of PM…
