The bus was correct. The NHS budget has gone up by more than £350M since then even if you ignore the huge COVID boosts.

Not from money saved by leaving though.

Yes, from money saved by leaving. EU membership cost would have been a fair bit higher than £350M/week by now as it's GDP indexed, even.

Or what are you trying to argue here? You expected tax pounds to have colours, that there was some separate bank account labelled "EU funds"?

The various economic analyses are wrong, please see my other comments in this thread about that.

The national debt is certainly very bad, but that's because the country elected a very left wing government. It's not related to Brexit.
