That bus slogan was literally all about money and not sovereignty. You're trying to move the goalposts as it has not delivered financially.

So what to all the above. Realists, like me, understood that there will be a dip. OB doesn't matter and the 2019 Tory Manifesto was Boris blather. The reality is that Brexit was about sovereignty.

You poo-poo a perfectly valid remark of mine. Covid didn't help and it needs time simply because business has to build back - in the face of government stupidity. That doesn't mean it was wrong to leave the EU and its tendency to do what Germany & France want.

Again, noting of substance from you to invalidate the will of 52% of the voters. The bus slogan had little to do with people's reasons for Brexit but anyway, the £350 million, to be specific, has been added to the NHS budget.
