Damn! Just days after the election, they all turned coat and matter-of-factly conceded their campaign claims were fibs.

• Farage admitted the "billions for the NHS" was a lie
• BoJo said he would preserve free trade membership, which comes with freedom of movement of people, which is what he said Brexit would put a stop to.

The Brexit campaign will end up as a textbook case of demagoguery.
