Just seen this.

Pulling on the heart strings for the NHS.

But repeatedly suggesting that the Tories will break the promise of £350 million a week to help fund the NHS.

Hold on, when did the Tories make this promise?

Not that any promises were made but Vote Leave was a cross party campaign group.

This is a scandalous PPB.

They didn't make any such promise, that's total rubbish. Sounds like the broadcast was as accurate as a C4 news bulletin.

Talk about "post truth"! Yhe only "truth posts" left are what I type into chit chat LaughWink

LEAVE promised the £350 million per week to the NHS: "let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week"
May is following a Brexit plan as promised by LEAVE
May et al would like to forget all about that promise

'Vote Leave' had the slogan on the bus A_T

LEAVE did not promise anything, LEAVE was never one entity.

Some followed Vote Leave
Some followed Grassroots Out
Some followed Labour Leave
and so on......

Comprende ?

I know very well who she is but that's not the issue here the leave campaign was dominated by the tories and right wing nationolists friends Ukip , the leave was funded by rich right wing tories , so if they had no intention of carrying out their promise why did they do it in the first place , because they kno it is a very emotive issue that people would support

Quite mafeking, and let's not forget the document Vote Leave produced just to put the argument to bed.

National Health Service (Funding Target) Bill - The NHS would receive a £100m per week real-terms cash "transfusion", to be paid for by savings from leaving the EU


Again this can not be a promise, why? because Vote Leave was merely a cross party campaign group.

No, I took it as normal political campaign hyperbole, as I did with the ruination speeches from Merkel, Obama et al.

Every week? no?

Anyway the official roadmap laid out by Vote Leave before the vote clarified matters of what they were 'suggesting' ( not promising because they were just a campaign group ) said this.

Good question, but let's not forget Vote Leave was the Westminster representative in the campaign. The answer may well be in that observation.
Cameron and Osbourne played their part for the Westminster Remain campaign, by treating the public in such a manner.

Farage played a straight bat in comparison with his Grassroots Out campaign, not wanted by the Westminster pirates.
