Remainers are being blamed for the Brexit mess – good job we kept the receipts

What became of the "easiest deal in history"?

‘Back into Europe’ as Scottish voters could face an independence referendum this year

“Not only can Britain leave the European Union and have access to the single market, we’d actually get a better deal”. That was The Telegraph headline Vote Leave endorsed just ten days before the referendum in 2016.

It would, as it panned out, join a long list of Brexit myths that were touted by the mainstream media in the run up to the crucial vote that narrowly went the way of the campaign backed by the now Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Now, as the blame game so predictably starts and Remainers are put in the spotlight, the PM faces an uphill battle to get his own “oven ready” deal over the line in time for it to be ratified before the New Year.

They’ll say it is not their fault, but as James O’Brien pointed out on Twitter, thankfully we kept the receipts. Here’s a pick of them.

A short reminder on just some of the Brexit lies fed to us.
Feel free to add your own.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
