EU debate: the 85 claims that we're checking

27 March 2014

 

Full Fact spent yesterday evening working with LBC radio to live factcheck the first of two debates between Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg and his UKIP counterpart Nigel Farage on Britain's membership of the EU. For those that missed it, you can look back over the claims we looked into here.

We've also been helping journalists from the BBC to the Daily Mail to get on top of some of the facts and figures used last night. However we're not done yet. Having pored over the transcript of the debate, we've pulled out 85 claims that we think need checking, and we're going to be spending today and tomorrow doing just that. So if you were left with questions after yesterday's exchanges between Nick and Nigel, be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the full picture.
