Guido understands the ladies of the Lobby are not happy with Nick Robinson. Tom Bradby got an on camera line out of David Cameron about not doing the TV debates unless the Greens were included.

Nick does have some form for what would be called in print “byline banditry”.

Here’s a flavour of the outrage….

Shameful – "learned" from ITV RT '@BBCBreaking Cameron will not take part in TV leader debates unless Green Party involved, the BBC learns'

The BBC learns? From watching ITV News? Is that what we pay the licence fee for?

When you have such a degree of market dominance, funded by the tax payer, you need to have some respect for competitors.

I am afraid BBC News has form on the 'BBC has learned' front and I think it is becoming a serious issue.

After @itvnews asked PM RT @BBCPolitics: Watch: @bbcnickrobinson on why David Cameron says he may refuse TV debates if Greens not included
