A second misleading claim has been found on a 'fact checking' website set up by the Jeremy Corbyn campaign.

CorbynFacts was launched yesterday, with the purpose of debunking myths about the Labour leader.

Yesterday, the Mirror revealed that in the third paragraph on the site, it claimed Labour were "neck-and-neck in the polls" ahead of the move to unseat Mr Corbyn, which is not true.

And a second ropey assertion has been discovered - this time relating to Mr Corbyn's activities ahead of the EU referendum .

The very first post placed on the page when it was launched yesterday asks the question: "Did Jeremy Corbyn fail to campaign during the EU referendum ?"

In making the argument that the answer to the above question is no, the site makes a bold claim that Corbyn "gave 122 speeches in the course of the campaign".

Here's our fact check of CorbynFacts' fact check.

Did Jeremy Corbyn give 122 speeches in the course of the EU referendum campaign?

No.

Asked for a source to back up the claim, the Jeremy For Labour campaign said it was from a study by Loughborough University's Centre for Research in Communication and Culture.

In June, the centre published an analysis of media coverage in the EU referendum .

The centre performed a detailed content analysis of news coverage between May 6 and June 22, 2016 - and only counted on weekdays, a total of 33 days.

On the face of it, 122 speeches in 33 days is pretty impressive - around 3.7 speeches every day. It's especially impressive considering Corbyn took a "long weekend" away from campaigning during the period.

But, the study didn't count the number of speeches given. It counted the number of times politicians appeared in the media .

Specifically, it counted the number of times a selection of newspapers and TV programmes reported on political figures.

So the study which Jeremy For Labour cite does not show Mr Corbyn gave 122 speeches over the period, only that he was mentioned by or appeared on TV 123 times.

(The actual figure in the report is 123, not 122. We don't know where Jeremy For Labour got 122 from.)

So how many speeches did he make?

At least 10.

We've asked Jeremy For Labour for a full list of campaign speeches made by Mr Corbyn, but they have not as yet provided one.

However, the Leader's office prepared a document outlining the work he did during the campaign following the referendum.

It says Mr Corbyn spoke at "dozens of meetings, events and rallies" during the campaign.

It goes on to add that he spoke at "10 EU rallies, with speeches and meetings in London, Bristol, Stroud, Newquay, Perranporth, Cardiff, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Runcorn, Manchester, Truro, Sheffield, Widnes, Doncaster, Rotherham, Hastings, Brighton, Dundee, Aberdeen and Birmingham."

Update: Jeremy For Labour have provided more information from the document outline what Mr Corbyn did during the campaign. It doesn't amount to 122 speeches, but we are happy to include it for clarity.

"Jeremy led from the front in the EU referendum campaign. He made the positive case for remaining and reforming the EU up and down the country.

"His activity included:
