Several things, Nigel. First, as you know (unless you're a babe-in-arms), government promises are worth diddly squat. To give you just one example of a recent Tory promise, immigration was promised to go down to "the tens of thousands." When this did not even begin to happen (on Theresa May's watch), the promise was miraculously downgraded to "an aspiration." Second, £350 million was a lie, as it did not represent anything like our net contribution to the EU, which was far less than £350 million a week. A barefaced lie, Nigel. Third, and this is just a prediction of course, once we leave the EU there'll be little or no extra money for the NHS because the country won't be able to afford it. Watch that space. Fourth, your Tories don't give a flying shite about the NHS in any case. So which bit of my argument is "shot down in flames," Nigel dearest?
