Promises, promises: 11 failed pledges from both sides of the EU referendum campaign

What's a promise worth in politics these days? After writing my last post I started to think about all of the promises that had been reneged on during the course of the EU Referendum saga.

I came up with the following:

• David Cameron told us he'd stay on regardless of the result. He quit within hours
• The PM also said he would enact 'Article 50' but didn't
• George Osborne said he'd need to draw up a 'Brexit budget' if we voted to Leave. He hasn't
• Boris Johnson said the pound would be fine and the economy would be stable after the vote. It isn't
• The mop-haired ex Mayor then weighed up standing to deliver on the result he'd strived for and backed out
• Michael Gove repeatedly ruled himself out of standing to be Prime Minister. He then stood and stuck the knife into his old mate Boris
• Andrea Leadsom once warned Brexit would be a disaster. She now backs it
• Jeremy Corbyn promised to support the Remain campaign but has been accused of undermining its efforts and not-so-secretly wanting to be out
• We were promised £350 million more a week for the NHS. We won't get it
• The Leave campaign promised to control the levels of immigration. They probably can't
• Nigel Farage has stood down, saying his work is done. It isn't. (He also insulted the people we now need to win over to strike a new deal for Britain, nice work)

That's pretty damning I'd say. I don't want to just criticise politicians, but they should look at the list above and begin to understand why many people don't trust them.

The sad thing is I doubt I've even covered them all. Feel free to point out any I've missed below...
