Vote Leave's £350m for the NHS pledge was ‘just an example’, says group's chair

The pledge by Vote Leave to spend £350m a week on the NHS after Brexit was just an “example” of how such cash could be allocated, the organisation’s chair has said.

Gisela Stuart, who co-chaired the official campaign to leave the EU, downplayed the policy, which her organisation emblazoned on the size of a large red bus during the campaign.

The Leave campaign really were just a complete shower of lying [LIFTED].

a disturbing precedent, for the Executive to act on an advisory

one with such significant long-term consequences. The Government
should not trigger Article 50 without consulting Parliament.


very binding wording there - would, mention and should - all very solid legal terms.
looking forward to any legal challenge better yet lets have a general election ...

Given the number of QCs and similar legal professionals involved in the writing of that document, I'll take their legal opinion over yours any day.

Bigots feel they have a mandate to hate. We have to speak out
“We voted for you to go home.” Those were the words flung at 34-year-old Tinni Guha Roy, a former member of the GB rowing team, on a London train in the aftermath of Britain’s EU referendum. “I now feel sad at how naive I was to feel so proud to represent GB,” she tells me.

I read this article by Owen Jones this morning, and felt that if it should be mentioned anywhere, it’s likely to be in this thread. As you probably know, the Polish community in Harlow is feeling rather unsettled after the recent attacks and murders, and they were even alluded to in the EU parliament yesterday by Jean-Claude Juncker.

WTF? Since when have the Middle East, Jamaica and Africa been part of the EU? :shock:

Yorkshire, well, technically part of the EU, but it will still be part of Britain after Brexit goes through, so I guess he is already home. These people haven't got a clue! Glad I don't live in the UK to have to live through this. It does make me ashamed to be British though.

I think some people who voted “leave” assumed that it was an instruction to foreigners.

Sometimes, I feel like starting the thread titled Brexit Britain to catalogue all this kind of thing.

Go for it - the referendum is over after all.
And yes, that's incredibly depressing.

its going very well. i do hope that we go for a very hard exit as talking to the EU is akin to banging your head against a brick wall.

In what way would the WTO rules and regs be an improvement on what we have at the moment?
