350 million to the NHS, hurrah. Oh, it’s for the whole winter.

Is it a coincidence that that emotive figure was used.

I hadn't noticed that. But I'd love to think it wasn't a coincidence.

350 million was promised to the NHS and now 350 million has been given, so admit you were wrong and stop quibbling over boring details. You Remoaners are so obsessed with your Brussels-worship that can't even acknowledge that all the Brexit promises are coming true.

Perhaps he is taking the piss out of those who claimed it, a kind of in house dig towards gove, or Boris and their supporters?

Hmm, what was actually written on the side of the Leave bus was £350 million a week, but of course you knew that.

Why? He kind of half embraced Thatcher & Reagan’s implementation of the neo-liberal economical model.
How far back do you want to go?
