The claim
United Australia Party chairman Clive Palmer says his party can boast three former prime ministers.
In a December 2021 press release, Mr Palmer said: "We are very pleased to announce that we are officially celebrating 90 years since this great party first held government under our inaugural Prime Minister, Joseph Lyons."
"We are also commemorating other United Australia Party leaders who were Prime Ministers of Australia in Billy Hughes and Sir Robert Menzies," he said.
In the "about us" section of the United Australia Party's website, the party also claims Mr Lyons, Mr Hughes and Sir Robert as its own: "Our history — United Australia Party prime ministers".
So, were these former prime ministers members of the same political party as Mr Palmer?

The verdict
Mr Palmer's claim is nonsense.
