    It was a slogan used during a campaign, it was never an electoral promise, because the Vote Leave folks were not campaigning for Government. It was certainly more effective than "Vote Leave, it's going to be really good" would have been. And it was more effective than "There's going to be an emergency budget if you vote to leave".
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      No extra funding for NHS based on a gross one way figure to Europe, and no taking back of control.

        Quite, fraud is very effective when targeted at gullible people.

        Does not make it right or legal.

          Nope, none of that is from the much-taunted £350m. As is oft-repeated, we haven’t left yet, so the extra £350m would start in January 2021, but no, there’s no sign of a massive jump then.
          Looks like they fooled you again.

            If Boris is not a compete Mor On he’d announce 350 mon extra per week in March’s budget for Nhs, which would come from 20 bln already announced byTheresa May (she did not specify how that would be funded)

                Are the "but you said the NHS would get £350m a week so Boris lied" brigade not the same folks who claimed that the the referendum was advisory and could safely be ignored, even though DC promised the result would be implemented?

                Promise to implement the result = ok to ignore because technically not legally binding

                Aspiration to fund the NHS instead = not ok to ignore because it was on a bus

                It'll be a political triumph to announce £350m a week extra funding for the NHS. It will happen but maybe we'll have to wait until we can afford it through no longer paying it to the EU. Ya know, like it said on the bus.

                  You still believe that we pay £350m a week nett to the EU?

                    350 mln per week is 18 bln per year, just below 20 bln promised by May from unfunded sources and thta covers like maybe 5% annual increase in budget for the next 5 years - fook all.

                      Yes, the “cost” to the gov of being in the EU was less than 3% of the budget. That ignores the business benefits and related additional tax revenues from the profits.
