There's no doubt that the source is a partisan one. But I guess we'll find out whether their story is true or not when we see whether there is an apology during tonight's The Papers...

Yes, though it links to the House of Commons library site which explains it well and actually they're both wrong. Though in one respect Louise Mensch is more correct than the presenter as the number was as high as 55% at one point. Though the average is 9%, it's not as low as 2%

Or you can just read the link to the House of Commons in the article you posted

UTV Ireland now appear to be carrying the ITV referendum coverage in its entirety.

This week's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver won't be on Sky Atlantic until Thursday at 10.10pm to avoid breaching impartiality rules.

(Whereas if you want to watch the segment on the referendum sooner, the show's producers have already uploaded all of that bit to YouTube.)

Sky Atlantic postponed last night's Last Week Tonight on the EU referendum, it'll now be shown after polls close.

Unfortunately, people seem to think this is a great Murdochian conspiracy rather than the obvious - transmitting it during the campaign would be a massive Ofcom breach.

The reason is, the show telling people . f*** you eu but stay in anyways. Yes it really would be breaking the rules. Yes he even sings that....

She might be involved, but the copyright at the bottom of the front page says Dow Jones & Company, which has been owned by NewsCorp since 2007, so it's basically a Murdoch front.

Anyone know what location/studio the Paxman debate will be coming from?

The debate on BBC1 seems to have gone belt and braces with mics - one on the lapel, a Madonna mic and one on the desk for each participant.

The multiple microphones appear to be causing the problem that we can hear the other side conferring over whoever is speaking.

Why would that be the case? Just because they've got multiple microphones doesn't mean they've all got to be turned on all the time. If you can hear the 'other side' talking, it's because someone has decided to leave their mics open, not because there's too many mics.

Seems like a questionable decision to leave the microphones open in any case.
