Are you a #Brexiter who voted in good faith for #Brexit, hoping for a better life for you and your family, and don't see why so many people now want a #PeoplesVote? Let's revisit the things #VoteLeaveBrokeTheLaw and @LeaveEUOfficial told you back then. 1/n

Then: "There will be no downside to Brexit - only a considerable upside" (David Davis).

Now, The "benefits" of brexit may take "up to 50 years to appear" (Jacob Rees Mogg), or "never" (Nigel Farage).

Hate austerity? Brexit = constant austerity.

Then: "Turkey is joining the EU" (Psst If you don't vote for Brexit, Turks, Syrians and Iraqis will overwhelm our country)"

Now: @michaelgove admits they lied to you about it, and "regrets" this. theguardian.com/politics/2018/…

Then: "Your food will be cheaper!".

Now: "There will be adequate food"

Then: "Save the NHS! 350m a week for it! And our video shows that queues will vanish once we're out!"

Now: Stockpiling medicines, staff are deserting: 40,000 nurses short, 10,000 doctors short, and doctors warn Brexit will be a catastrophe for the NHS. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Then: "We are not sovereign till we leave the EU".

Now: EU: pay, obey, no say. Must join the WTO, despite not being able to vote for them or have any say. We need to accept substandard food from the US. Must turn a blind eye to atrocity, for trade deals. uk.businessinsider.com/peter-westmaco…

You care about your family's future. Think how love for your country was used to deliver something that won't benefit you.

Ask who really benefits.
