I would expect an advert on the side of a bus to live up to its promise. Isn't that what advertising standards are all about? FWIW, darling of the brexit campaign and all round slimey toad himself agreed it was a pledge and disowned it within an hour of the referendum result.

"No I can?t [guarantee it], and I would never have made that claim. That was one of the mistakes that I think the Leave campaign made," he said.

When it was pointed out that Vote Leave emblazoned the ?350 million claim onto the side of a tour bus and drove it around the country, Mr Farage said: ?It wasn?t one of my adverts " I can assure you! I think they made a mistake in doing that. "
