For those interested.

38 Degrees has a new opinion-tracking tool - known as a 'worm' - that helps us all give our verdict on the live TV debates. You can share your reactions using your computer or mobile phone while you watch the telly - then see how it measures up with thousands of other 38 Degrees members. It's a bit like shouting at the telly. Except more satisfying.

It has two buttons that you click during the debate: one for when you like what the person on screen is saying, and one for when you don’t. A 'worm' at the top of the screen records how all of us are voting. If lots of us like what’s being said, the worm goes up. If lots of us don’t, the worm goes down.

Watching politicians on TV can be frustrating - but the 'worm' lets us all have our say. If you want to take part, just click the link below and you’ll be signed up:

The 'worm' tool will also be fact checking some of the biggest claims of the night as they happen. It’ll mean that thousands of us will be able to separate the fact from the fiction right away - and share our opinions with each other. It’s like fact-swapping and comparing arguments with your friends at the pub, but you don’t have to get off the sofa.

You don’t need to install anything and there’s no app to download. (Did I mention it’s dead easy to use?) Just click the link above to sign up. On the night, we’ll send you an email reminder with a link to the 38 Degrees worm.

Here are the details you need to know:

The debate tomorrow is with Michael Gove, one of the leaders of the ‘Vote Leave’ campaign. He’ll be taking questions from a live TV audience.
It starts at 6.45pm, and you’ll be sent a link to the ‘worm’ an hour before. All you need to do is click the link when you’re ready to sit down to watch the debate.
The 'worm' will be available for the other TV debates too - including next Sunday where David Cameron will take questions from a live audience.
There will be live fact checks, made using research by a team of independent experts, which will let you know the truth behind some of the big claims that get made during the debate.
