      No it wasn’t. You were were supposed to save £18b per year, immediately. Instead you’re losing at the very least £100b per year and you’re never going to recover from it, until about one generation after rejoining the EU which is inevitable.

        Yes lying politicians claimed that. Anyone who thought for a minute would see that the benefits would be in retained sovereignty as the EU slid more into a backdoor super state. Or be part of the union, especially as a payer, when one of the payers (or you) runs into financial trouble, and has to decide between the EU rules or their own people.
