David Cameron and Nigel Farage faced public questions on the EU referendum in a live TV event.
The Prime Minister said leaving the EU amounted to quitting and we are not quitters, he said. Ukip leader Nigel Farage said being British meant not being bullied by anybody.
Nine out of ten economists, plus the Governor of the Bank of England, agree Britain would be worse off economically outside the EU, Prime Minister David Cameron said.
A recent poll by Ipsos Mori did find that 88% of economists responding to the survey thought the UK economy would be negatively affected if the UK left the EU and the single market, according to fact-checking organisation Full Fact.
But Ipsos Mori stresses that the survey “should only be taken as representative of those who responded”.
It was only sent to 3,800 people who were members of the Royal Economic Society and the Society of Business Economists.
Out of that 3,800, there were 639 responses—that’s 17% of all the people who were asked. The results were not weighted.
While it’s difficult to be very exact about the economic cost of leaving the EU, most economists think that there would be one.
Both David Cameron and Nigel Farage made some "eye-catching" claims surrounding the EU remain or leave campaign on Tuesday evening.
David Cameron and Nigel Farage have set out the cases for remaining in and leaving the EU in a live programme on ITV.
