They went with the figure produced by the OBR stating the amount of money paid by the U.K. to the EU as if on a weekly basis.

The £350 million a week is correct. Nowhere does it say spend £350M per week on the NHS....

You are being wilfully obtuse. The implication is as clear as day.

Rather bold from the BBC, and easy to find. Much easier with link.

Benefits? What benefits? For "ordinary voters" not tax avoiders.

This illustrates all too well, the art of sound bite politics. People read and remember the headlines but never the small print explanations.

Just think what we could have done with the £140 billion that has been wasted through brexit preparation and lost growth.

Or the god knows how much spent on the Chinese virus. Such as waste, but our politicians would have wasted it all anyway.....

But it does say "Let's fund our NHS instead" which kinda does imply that a sizeable (if not all) of the amount should be headed over to the NHS budget instead.

I agree it suggests that additional funds will go to the NHS, but just like Tony Blair’s ‘24 Hours to Save the NHS’, we must remember these are politicians we are dealing with....

Ahh. That's Dildo Harding.

I googled somebody called Tristia Harrison (current Talk Talk CEO) and for some reason some pictures of Dido Harding came up. My bad.

Still don't know what that has to do with the highlighted bit though.

Freudian slip Fred?

Sounds a bit like my pub, (back in the day like), that.

Lob in Carol Vorderman getting absolutely hammered on Thatchers cider, and thats a good night.

Where have you got these figures from mate. it wouldn't be a Bloomberg report by any chance?

In reality, from the Brexit vote up until the end of 2019, the UK has out performed our G7 colleagues in Europe plus Japan, and pretty much kept pace with USA and Canada. These figures assume a forecast growth in our economy miles ahead of our peers in the G7 with absolutely no justification. They are about as credible as the £350m bus claims from the Leave campaign.

We have wasted a few billion on Brexit preparations I'll grant you that.

Freudian slip Fred?

I knew exactly what I was typing there Bruce.

Her record in charge of the countries track and trace is quite appalling, and the fact that her husband is a serving Tory MP and champion of anti corruption is quite simply staggering. You couldn't make it up.

What were the EU benefits for ordinary voters....

Auto correction.....
