Rejected petition Make the Leave campaign pay the £350 million/week they said would go to the NHS

During the Brexit referendum the Leave campaign said "Let’s give our NHS the £350m the EU takes every week". As soon as they won, they backtracked from this claim, and did it so quickly that one might conclude they never meant it in the first place.

More details

Many people believed the NHS would get an extra £350m/week if we left the EU, and were swayed by it when they came to vote.

The politicians, major donors, newspapers and newspaper proprietors behind the Leave campaign need to make good on their promise. They should therefore be jointly liable to pay to the NHS £350 million out of their own funds, every week until they are all bankrupt.
