Absolute rubbish. He was the leader of the party that hoodwinked the public into voting leave and he was the prime mover for leave. All round him leave campaigners in his own party as well as within Tory ranks were saying those things whether he uttered them or not (and he did). Did you hear him saying that the bus ad was a lie? No you did not. Did you hear him protesting that the NHS WASN'T going to get the money? No you did not. Some nice twisting and turning when confronted with the reality, for sure, but no retraction. Those things suited him down to the ground and he had ample opportunities to correct them. Did he do so? No he did not. Not one word until he'd safely won the vote. You might as well claim that Pontius Pilate had nothing to do with the death of Jesus.
