.@nick_clegg sets out why we must have a Referendum when major rules in the EU change, as in the Lisbon Treaty. #NickvNigel #whyiamIN

1 politician in this debate defending record in govt + 1 arguing a vote for them isn't a wasted vote. Former is the LibDems #HowTimesChange

Have to say this is much better than a PMQs exchange on Europe. Absence of misbehaving MPs is a great bonus #NickvNigel

Let's have facts in this debate. There aren't even 29m Bulgarians and Romanians to come here, as UKIP leaflet claims pic.twitter.com/aTjkC70kjr

Farage essentially just told Clegg "you can prove anything with facts" #cleggvfarage

Nick looking directly at camera with puppy dog eyes. Ah, memories of 2010… #NickvNigel

C'mon drawbridge manufacturers. Where's your real-time, news-jacking tweets? #NickvNigel

Better for Clegg to voice anecdotal egs – Siemens in Hull – to animate his facts, than try to win with net contribution stats #LBCDebate

Big difference between @nick_clegg quoting specific multinationals and @Nigel_Farage "i spoke to a business [unnamed] yesterday" #LBCdebate

Doubt Clegg + Farage shifting many supporters between their parties – but big gain for both is from Lab + Con not being present #NickvNigel

Clegg says we'd have to renegotiate trade agreements with 77 different countries if we left. Never heard a sceptic explain how we'd do that

Interesting: both Tory and Labour leaning commentators online seem much more impressed with Clegg than Farage #NickvNigel

Police say Euro arrest warrant is "vital tool against organised crime" – UKIP says abolish it. #NickvNigel

Biggest round of applause so far for @nick_clegg's defence of equal marriage #NickvNigel

Farage admits he made up his claim that 75% of laws come from Europe. The @HouseofCommons Library analysis says it's 6.8% #NickvNigel

Farage blames the EU, not Putin or extremists, for bloodshed in Ukraine #NickvNigel

Clegg is winning this imho. Sounding more reasonable and I say that as an Outer #LBCdebate

#LBCdebate #NickvNigel lots of Tories in the spin room desperately trying to comment on a debate they are supposedly ignoring…
