Seems black and white to me.
Except that it was not a deliberate attempt to deceive. They simply didn't take into account the rebate, which of course could be reinstated further down the line.

Had they quoted the figure without the rebate, it would have been just as effective, so why people are obsessing about the precise amount really shows how desperate the remainers are now.

The point is, a huge amount of extra money will be at our disposal when we leave this great monolithic bureaucracy, and we can decide to spend it on the NHS, housing, poverty, whatever we like. Plus, we will be able to exploit world markets without being tied down by the EU.

I think a lot of remainers also believe that trade with the EU will be stopped or at least severely impacted when we leave. I am sure they will be pleasantly surprised, because that is not going to happen.
