Even if this promise is kept after the vote, some areas will have to bid for the money, so aren't guaranteed to get it.
Even if they do, it's a drop in the ocean compared to the massive funding cuts by the Tories in Northern areas.

Richard, you have found the Elephant in the room! The amount a city might get is far less that they have lost in the years of Tory austerity.
If any poor Labour MP smuck falls for this con trick, they would be a laughing stock.

Wrong again. The 1975 Referendum on the European Community (Common Market) had a bigger mandate:
17,378,581 voted yes out of an electorate of 40,086,677. This equates to approx 43% of the electorate versus. 37% for the 2016 referendum
