The outcome of the EU referendum must be declared void.
We now observe that during the recent EU referendum there was a deliberate and serious misrepresentation of factual information by holders of public office. This behaviour is inconsistent with the Nolan principles of objectivity, openness and honesty and is unacceptable.
There are numerous examples.
One of the most controversial claims of the campaign was that the UK sends £350m a week (or £50m a day) to Brussels, which could be spent on the NHS instead. Many bodies including the UK Statistics Authority pointed out that we do not send that much a week because the rebate is deducted before any money is spent. Source: BBC Reality Check website.
That BBC website is a good source of information about inaccurate claims from both sides of the referendum debate.
