Reality Check

Jeremy Corbyn told the debate that more than half of our trade is with the EU. The latest figures, for 2018, show the figure to be 49%. The same figures show that 45% of UK exports went to the EU. The figure for imports from the EU was 53%.

Trade just in goods (ie ignoring services) with the EU accounted for 52% of the total.

(Correction: This post has been amended to give the figure for total trade as well as exports; and to add the figure for goods only.)

Perhaps the main Labour attack of this campaign has been that the NHS will be "on the table" in a Conservative-negotiated trade deal with the United States. Jeremy Corbyn is repeating that tonight again and again.

But Boris Johnson is hitting back as hard as he can, saying it’s nonsense and won’t happen.

"Labour will end privatisation in the NHS and return it to what it was always intended to be... a public health service," says Jeremy Corbyn.

He's getting some applause for this line of attack.

"President Trump has said many times people pay too little for US medicines around the world - that's the kind of agenda the [Tories] want to get involved with," the Labour leader adds.

The PM responds that this is "Bermuda Triangle stuff".

He says: "We believe in the NHS free at the point of use and under no circumstances would we sell it off to anybody."

Mr Corbyn says the Tories opposed the creation of the NHS, and the PM is met with laughter when he points out this is going back to the 1940s.

During the campaign the Conservatives have attacked Labour plans to encourage a shift to a four-day week, arguing it would damage the NHS.

Mr Corbyn says he wants the working week to "come down", but insists: "There is no plan to bring in a four-day week in the NHS.

"But there is a plan to properly invest in our NHS."

Mr Johnson says Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell has made clear there is a plan for a four-day week in the NHS though.

The Tory leader adds that he too wants to see more funding going into public services - funding 20,000 more police officers for example.

See our Reality Check entry a few posts ago for a bit more on that figure.

Jeremy Corbyn is trying to move on to the offensive now, questioning Boris Johnson’s numbers on hospitals and nurses.

The PM insists they are right, but Mr Corbyn thinks when you get down into the detail the plans sound more ambitious than they really are.

Faith, a student nurse, asks how the leaders would deal with the shortage of nurses and ensure the NHS can retain the ones it has.

Boris Johnson says the Tories will invest £34bn and recruit 31,000 new nurses.

He adds that they would "encourage nurses overseas to come" to the UK "by shortening the time for their visa applications" and by reintroducing bursaries for training.

Jeremy Corbyn says the NHS is at "breaking point". He says Labour would end university fees so that more people go into studying and would also return the nursing bursary.

"£40bn in total would go into the NHS in order to fund it properly," he says.

Mr Johnson says there will be 40 new hospitals in the country if the Tories win - a figure which has become somewhat contentious in this campaign.

And indeed, Mr Corbyn says the PM's promises are not "backed up" by "serious plans".

Reality Check

Boris Johnson tells the debate audience the Conservatives would recruit 20,000 more police officers.

However, since 2010, police officer numbers have decreased by 20,500 in England and Wales. The recruitment has already started.

But, even if these 20,000 officers are recruited, numbers will still be below 2010 levels.

Jeremy Corbyn's big pitch for staying neutral on Brexit is that he will be able to implement whatever another EU referendum decides.

Mr Johnson thinks it's a weakness.

Mr Corbyn is asked why he will not say where he stands on Brexit?

"I think it’s because I think the country has to come together," he replies.

The Labour leader says he would implement whatever the public decide in another referendum on the EU.

“You cannot end the uncertainty on Brexit if you don’t know what the deal is you want to do,” Mr Johnson argues.

He says it is a “failure of leadership” to not have a position.

Boris Johnson is on the attack, accusing Jeremy Corbn of being unclear on Brexit and of supporting the IRA.

Mr Corbyn denies both - and says he always wanted a peace process in Ireland.

But this is part of a Tory plan to try and make the choice next week about leadership and who you’d rather was in No 10.

Boris Johnson is met with applause from the audience when he says he finds it "slightly curious" to be lectured about the union between the UK and Northern Ireland by Jeremy Corbyn. He's referring to past support the Labour leader is accused of having for the Republican cause.

Mr Corbyn responds: "He [Mr Johnson] spoke at a DUP conference and said there would be no restrictions [after Brexit] whatsoever, we now know there are restrictions."

Read today's story on Brexit and Northern Ireland.

"We have a fantastic deal it is there ready to go," Mr Johnson says of his withdrawal deal with the EU.

"You don’t have a trade deal?" Nick Robinson points out to him. That's the deal that would set the long-term relationship between the UK and EU after Brexit.

Mr Johnson says his deal allows for businesses to have “perfect confidence” going forward and there is “ample time” to build a free trade partnership.

This deal “gets Brexit done” he repeats.

Mr Corbyn says Mr Johnson will spend “years” negotiating with the EU - we've looked more closely at time frames here.

And he highlights the papers they have that he says shows the access the US will ask in trade talks - Reality Check has looked at this.

He says other papers show there will be customs checks between Northern Ireland.

Mr Johnson says that is not true.

Jeremy Corbyn says the PM will spend "at least seven years" negotiating a trade deal with the US.

"What he will do is walk out of a relationship with the EU into a relationship with nobody," the Labour leader argues.

But the PM says that if Labour get in, "Parliament, our country, would spend a whole year, probably more, racked, locked in debate about Brexit".

"We will do a fantastic deal with the EU and with the US," he says.

Jeremy Corbyn says there are now four million children living in poverty in the country.

One of the most commonly-used measures of estimating children in poverty is using the Households Below Average Income (HBAI) statistics.

That dataset estimates that 4.1 million children were living in "relative low income" in 2017-18.

Brexit is comfortable ground for Boris Johnson - it’s what he wants to talk about.

You can see how quickly he went on the offensive, attacking Labour’s position and asking how they’ll get a new deal when so many prominent figures in the party back Remain.

Mr Corbyn is trying to neutralise that by saying he’ll solve the issue within a year.

Two Brexit questions now. One from a Leave voter, another from a Remain voter.

The former, Yvonne Emerton, asks: "Can you guarantee it will happen next year?"

Tom Clark, who voted Remain, asks: "How will we be better off in a Brexit deal compared with what we have?"

Mr Corbyn says he wants to lead a government that represents the whole country and brings people together.

He says his government will negotiate a Brexit deal within three months.

"I think we've got to come together and bring this thing to an end."

Mr Johnson says he shares their frustrations and he pledges that the UK will come out of the EU by 31 January.

He questions Mr Corbyn's Brexit deal - "Who is going to secure this (Labour) deal?"

Nick Robinson asks the leaders whether voters face an "impossible choice" at this election.

Boris Johnson doesn't think so, replying: "If you look at our agenda it's positive, it's progressive, it will unite the country."

Jeremy Corbyn thinks the choice is clear from his perspective: "Our government will empower people, our government will not leave anybody behind."
