First of all Brexit has not happened yet.

Secondly bad projection is not the same as lie - 350 mln however was a blatant porky, very specific very large number - easily understandable by gullible people, especially those who worked in the NHS.

Yes. The direct falsehood was that 350 million per week is sent to the EU.

I think that piece of news must have passed me by. Didn't our wonderful neutral electoral commission issue a press release or something?




They made different false promises to buy votes, like we will need an emergency budget, unemployment will rise, there will be a recession.

P.S. The remain lies were to happen in the event of a vote to leave. The Brexit 350m for the NHS might come true, once we leave.

Was it not Mrs May who committed to a £384 million increase to the NHS by 2024?

The NHS is to get an extra £384 million a week after Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May has said.

In a major announcement to mark the 70th anniversary of the health service, the PM has said it will receive an additional £20 billion a year in real terms funding by 2024.

It is expected that taxes and borrowing will rise to pay for the increase in funding, and resources will be redirected from the more than £9 billion a year the UK currently pays into the EU.

Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Mrs May said: “Now, as we leave the European Union and stop paying significant annual subscriptions to Brussels, we will have more money to spend on priorities such as the NHS.

“But to give the NHS the funding it needs for the future, this Brexit dividend will not be enough.”

Ahead of a major speech on the issue on Monday, Mrs May added: “As a country, we need to contribute a bit more in a fair and balanced way. We will listen to views about how we do this and the Chancellor will set out the detail in due course. To deliver, this plan must be about more than money. ”

Yeah, and she conveniently failed to explain where 20 bln per year will come from - last big dividend tax hike only yielded 5-6 bln.

They’ll have fiscal options in event of no-deal exit - WTO tariffs will essentially be new VAT, big increase in indirect taxation

That can't come from the 350 million per week that the UK sends to the EU, because that figure is a lie.

Thanks for that.
