Brexit Windfall

I understand the money from brexit, is the money dear Boris was harping on about in the lead up to the referendum, the money he said we would save by not paying £’s to the EU after we leave, along with a good old hike in taxes. I fear the later will pick up the bill. Given the situation she has got herself into with some of her party, I would say she thinks this will claw back a slice of credability. I guess she believes we are all mugs and cannot see past her cunning plan.

Some will believe, because they want to believe; the rest of us realise that it is a con (bit like the referendum, really)

Do 'Brexit dividend' numbers add up?

Indeed so. This will all end in tears.

Lets face it the extra money for the NHS was one of the big Leave campaign promises, the government is now "delivering"¹ on that promise.

So, we had a referendum asking if people wanted more money to go to the NHS, they said yes (who wouldn’t) and the government is following “the will of the people”

Leaving the EU is just collateral damage.

1] in the same way that government often delivers on things - taking something that it would have had to do anyway even though they would rather not have done and dressing it up to look like they are benevolent superheroes.

Well said!
