Or you could just at the picture that Mayonnaise posted at 4:29pm today. That looks like a pretty clear implication to me...

..... and the following makes it pretty clear to me that the funding has been arranged and more!
£394 million per week by 2023 announced in June 2018, plus an extra £1.9 billion announced recently.
:T

P.S.
£394 million per week is more than that red bus says too.

No one cares as long as the magic money tree keeps on printing. At least Germany has it enshrined in law that the Government has to maintain a balance budget. Something which stops the antics of politicians promising expenditure without explaining how it's going to be funded. Can kicking seems to be reaching the cliff edge.

They can announce whatever figure they like, it doesn't mean the money will materialize. In the case of the current PM it's pretty much guaranteed not to be true.

You know that they just have to get past October 31st when you can no longer do anything about it, before they admit it right?

I do wonder where they'll find the money, bearing in mind it's guaranteed that the government will have less money with the cuts in taxes for all Boris friends and the increased costs associated with operating outside of the EU.

The money that we contribute to the EU is less than what our costs will be outside the EU & I don't remember seeing anyone say the opposite.

Just ...... :rotfl:

What exactly are these mythical "our costs"?
You have absolutely no idea how much "our costs" will be outside the EU and neither does anybody else, and your memory is selective too.

£9+ billion/year the EU cost, that will go one hell of a long way towards "our costs", especially when they don't exist.

So another day, another Jeremy Corbyn humiliation.
After the hilarious starter of Caroline lucas’ attempts to form a socially diverse government of her Pilates classmates, today we got the main course.

How badly must the labour leadership actually be that nobody (except a set of power hungry English hating lunatics) is prepared to put up with him sneaking into no10 via the back door. Things might be bad, but even the Lib Dem’s have grown a pair and realised that air-lifting those crackpots into Downing Street is not going to be good for their prospects.

Of course now that Jo Swinson is public enemy no. 2 (behind Tom Watson) in the eyes of momentum she’ll be getting a new label. I wonder if it will be the traditional ‘far-right nazi’ or the more de rigueur ‘zionist’.

Keep up the good work marxists!

Maybe you could challenge these Brexiteer myths and 'half truths' while you are at it?

Nice list of apocryphal EU rules. Maybe a grain of truth in some of them though. I haven't seen a 'pinta' for 20 years and our local lollipop person was replaced by pedestrian crossing lights.
Some of those EU rules have crept into the UK via osmosis as part of our new politically correct life and 'elf'n'safety jobsworthism

I attended a wedding near Bordeaux last weekend with other Brits who lived nearby. The one thing that united them was their utter hatred of UK polititians.

And their view of Macron? Hardly a beacon of popularity himself.

No one in Ireland would ever want to return to being part of the UK. It's also wrong to assume it's all about money, it isn't.

How do you know? I meet people who think just that pretty often. Not strongly enough to form a political party, just a sentiment. Ever wondered why so many Irish people end up living in England?

Your last sentence is correct though. Most of my income is in euro, so I’m getting a pay rise most days nowadays, and I’m still pretty annoyed about all this chaos.

I don't see it like that at all. I see it as Jo Swinsen and the Lib Dems showing their true colours again. Their main objective seems to be cancelling Brexit, but when given an opportunity to form a temporary government to avoid a no-deal Brexit and call a general election they refuse.

So it seems Brexit is less important to them than letting Corbyn run things for a few months until he gets booted out, and implies that they are happy to leave the Tories at the helm.
