You'll notice that he didn't say that we would give the NHS £350 million a week.

Doesn't matter. We wouldn't be taking back control of 'roughly' £350m per week unless a 30% margin of error is considered acceptable. I'm quite aware of Boris's heavy use of equivocation.
One of the most interesting things about this whole affair for me is how many people are cheering the government's strategy on even while one of the people most directly involved in making it happen is saying the manner in which it's being done is a disaster. It's unforced error after unforced error and it's really not good for the UK. They need to get their act together immediately.

They will be, it's needed to do something even close to keeping pace with the population's demand for healthcare.
It just probably won't, for a while at least, come from any savings made due to leaving the EU.
