Any Tory supporters here? What happened to this promise, since the NHS is currently on its knees?

Yep, this is a question you should be posing to the politicians who led the ‘Leave’ campaign - not ALL Tories. But I do agree people who spout baseless shit like this (which sadly swung many who don’t have the iq to differentiate between ‘plausible’ and ‘bollocks’) should be both fined (substantially) and struck off from holding any public office or public company position.

No, of course not. Boris Johnson and Liam Fox were giving a talk and that poster just happened to be the backdrop.

Given the evidence in the tweets of Boris' lack of grasp of 11 year old maths, I think it is safe to assume that numbers on a backdrop to him talking could say absolutely anything and he wouldnt' have a clue.

I’m not a supporter of the government but this wasn’t ever a Tory promise. It was a promise of the leave campaign which contained some tories. It is a major flaw in referendums that campaigns can make promises/pledges but actually as each side is not part of an election manifesto they can say what they like. It is a shame our mainstream media didn’t focus more on that fact in 2016.

Although it was fronted by the man who became the Tory PM. So a clear link.

Johnson - as a Leaver - certainly endorsed the NHS funding lie on the bus and then the Tories welcomed him as their glorious leader. They then became the Brexit Party in all but name and negotiated a very bad deal with the EU. They have underfunded the NHS since the Cameron coalition. It's true many Labour voters - misled by Farage and others - voted for Brexit but very few Labour MPs supported it as they could see the damage it would do. Corbyn in my opinion failed to argue the case for Remain because he was stuck in the Bennite past. We are now stuck with laughable 'Global Britain' and trade deals we mostly already enjoyed via the EU.

You've missed the potential 0.08% boost to GDP by 2050 of joining the Pacific trade pact.
Quite why we have left one trade group of our near neighbours to join another 1000s of miles away is something of a mystery.
