Jacob Rees-Mogg says the Government MUST honour pledge to pump £350m aweek into NHS

[Northerner]

Jacob Rees-Mogg today said the Government must honour the EU referendum promise to pump another £350million into the NHS a week.

The leading Brexiteer said he did not want the figure used in the campaign and plastered on the side of the bus which toured the country.

But he said 'electors believe a promise was made' and that 'politicians cannot hide behind the small print like some disreputable businesses do'.

He made the call as he set out his own 'Brexit Budget' in which he urged the Government to cut taxes and maintain free trade to boost the economy.

He said Britain can look forward to a £135 billion Brexit windfall if it seizes the opportunities of quitting the EU to trade globally and slash red tape.

He’s even dafter than I thought, then. 😱

Which is going some, I might say.

Since when I asked myself, did Governments base whatever they did about anything, on instructions from this bloke? Does he even have the very slightest idea how B stupid he often sounds when he's spouting forth?

I suspect not. I assume he likes the sound of his own voice.
