As far as I can ascertain Sally Gainsbury, Senior Policy Analyst at the Nuffield Trust, is the only author of this disclaimer on Boris's electioneering financial largesse. 

Her Phd in History and a Masters in Politics will I'm sure qualify her in financial investigation but I would question her politics in this matter.

You see her employer the Nuffield Trust, (with an expendable endowment of over £89 million in 2018), is a powerful mover and shaker as far as the NHS is concerned and to that end the Trust has made it quite clear that they would not tolerate a 'no deal' Brexit as daft Boris has stated could happen.

Here is what the Trust had to say in their 2018 Annual Report;

Our briefing, ‘How will our future relationship with the EU shape the NHS?’ was widely reported and our analysis remains that almost any deal would be better for the NHS than a ‘no deal’ exit from the EU.

So when Silly Bobo the Clown states that a No Deal Brexit is more than a possibility The Trust immediately uses Sally to fire out a disclaimer to suit their own ends.. 

It is all politics at the end of the day which ever side you support or look at as nothing is as it seems.

Vote SNP and Independence.

Please watch from 3:30 mins in for a thick of it treat

It is politics at it's best Sophia, at a minute in Buckingham of the Nuffield is interviewed and then the whole report from then on is quotes from all those interviewed and the studio reporter based on the Nuffields Gainsbury's disclaimer, I am not saying she is wrong what I'm highlighting  is that the disclaimer has ballooned but has not in itself been properly analysed, meaning that it is reported as fact, it's the old story that you fart at one end of the town and the rumour at the other end of the town is that you shit yourself.Politics.

Daft Boris is the ultimate politician.

I expect an election in January or February. The Tories will hope the weather and festive season take away some of Labour's strength. 

If they're going for a GE, it'll be sooner than that, while they've still got a slim chance of winning it.
No way are they going to leave it long enough for the chance of an A&E winter of discontent, UC sanctionees starving at Christmas and dead homeless piling up in the streets taking the news agenda out of their hands.

Being butt-hurt after the Lord Ashcroft poll, some staunch, bigot type has took to Twitter to get a better sample size than the “SNP commissioned” poll. It has nearly 11,000 votes...with Yes on 72% [emoji23]

Not that you can take a poll like that seriously, it’s just the fact it’s blew right in the clown’s face [emoji23] Gotta love the Yoonballs.

What's the username?  I want to vote

[Kuro]

He's closed it with Yes on 74% after 13465 votes

A bit off topic, but yes they are some mad ol' b*****ds that are Yessers but since we are talking about loonball loyalists, who's the wildest one on Twitter in your opinion?

I'd say that Historywoman - jesus christ, off her rocker and mental to think she was some sort of University professor. Completely deranged and unhinged, and considering she must be near 70, I don't think its a trolling act or a fake persona ; I think its actually her personality shining through.

I’m still convinced Spanner is JK Rowling.

She is definitely up there but I'd put in special mentions for Agent P, Del Ivered, Brian Spanner, and of course Tom Gallagher

Is Agent P the pure mad Sevconian that turns every single bit of Scottish govt legislation or press release into an attack on our staunch loyalist and protestant brethren?  Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between parody and loonball.

[NotThePars]

Spanner was probably Euan McColm wasn’t he? An absolute wrong ‘un nonetheless.

The first three retweets are a proper who's who of wrong un's. Not just cause they are No voters or mental ; but devoting to your online social life to this is mental! (Both sides even).

Not under Corbyn. Not a chance. That boat has sailed, and Labour's blundering indecision on Brexit means that their vote is splintering.

It must be frightening being a 'moderate' Labour supporter, and seeing any chance that your party has of coming to power destroyed on the alter of socialist ideology.

Corbyn would be sailing to victory by now if he’d either a) committed to Brexit while staying in the Single Market, or a similar ‘soft’ Brexit or b) committed to another referendum with a Remain option.

He’s fucked it for himself, his ‘socialism’ is really little to do with it.
