The minimum in Europe is 20 days plus statutory holidays, just like the UK, but most European countries have more statutory holidays than us - you appeared to be comparing our total amount against theirs without statutory.
Similarly with maternity leave, you compared the statutory minimum for EU countries (14 weeks) with ours (52 weeks - SMP lasts 39 weeks, and for the first six weeks, SMP is paid at 90 per cent of average earnings, and for the next 33 weeks, it is paid at the same 90 per cent or at the flat rate, whichever is lower.), but obviously didn't realise that Germany gives mothers 14 weeks of full pay, and both parents can take 14 months of parental leave at 65% of salary during the child's first 3 years, whilst in France they get 16 weeks full pay (26 weeks for the 3rd child). |
No as it was answering questions from people who had left a message in Just ASK. They had it on news channel all day yesterday and there were 3 people giving so called facts. But they said it was part of fact check. Yes that comparison is probably what they did.

At the moment Leave have the momentum and I think they may just scrape through. Having said that we don't know what dirty tricks have still to be played. We saw the start of it last night when the remainers a ganged up on Boris.
