You said that the NHS has already received the money that was promised on the side of a certain red bus.  Given that Brexit has not happened (29th March is when we are supposed to leave) and the UK is still a member of the EU where has the Government suddenly found the extra money for the NHS?  Down the back of the couch?

Phased in by 2023/24. £384 million per week, against £350 million on the side of the bus (which, incidentally, nobody ever said would go to the NHS in its entirety.)

Ah yes. The now de riguer brexiteer attempt to justify the "£350m a week to the NHS" sop to the stupid as promoted by mendacious, self-serving charlatans Farage, Gove and Johnson. As ridiculous now as it was then....

To put the extra funding in context since 1955 the NHS budget rose by an average of 3.9% p.a. In 2010 the disastrous tenure of Gideon Osborne slashed that rise to just 1% p.a. without any financial justification whatsoever. Apart from the usual oxymoron "the NHS is inefficient and will have to improve" total non-reason bollox. So each year for the last 8 years compounded the NHS and Social Care have fallen further and further behind from where they should be.

So the extra might just get the NHS back to where it would have been without Osbourne's purely political under-funding by about 2024.

Or on the other hand it might not....

Or in other words, the money (and more) is already earmarked for the NHS, so the bus argument is dead and buried.

The bus argument was dead and buried on day one - unless you believed it of course.....

So it will ALWAYS be remembered as one of the many lies by Leave that got us into this FUBAR.
