I can only assume that Mr K was recalling Johnson's promise to cut VAT on energy prices if we left the EU.

I can’t see any promise to cut VAT on fuel in that article - simply an observation from leave campaigners that such a thing would be possible (which it is). The Sun appears then to have extrapolated a promise from that.

At the risk of going over very old ground yet again, a referendum campaign is not an election. There is no manifesto. The debate is concerned with what is possible under the different scenarios voters will chose from, not a list of promises.
