Remembering The Pro-Brexit Quotes

Brexit should have meant Brexit apparently but before the whole thing descended into a farce, some people actually thought that Britain leaving the EU was going to be easy and straight forward so let's look back at what some of the Pro-Brexit MPs told us at the time of the referendum, before we found out it has been anything by easy.

'Coming to a free trade agreement with the EU should be one of the easiest in human history' Liam Fox
'Brexit was a war. We won' Arron Banks
'It was me that got us into this mess, I will get us out of it' Theresa May
'The day after we vote to leave, we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want' Michael Gove
'Getting out of the EU can be quick and easy' John Redwood
'We’ll get a great result out of Brexit. We’ll also unite the country' Dominic Raab
'I will vote Leave because I want a better deal for the people of this country, to save them money and to take control' Boris Johnson
'It is like threading the eye of a needle. If you have a good eye and a steady hand, it is easy enough,' David Davis
'If we Vote Leave we will be able to stop handing over so much money to the EU and be able to spend our money on priorities here in the UK' Gisela Stuart
'Without our EU budget contributions, we could give everyone a 60 per cent council tax cut'. Daniel Hannan
'If we vote to leave then I think the union will be stronger' Michael Gove
'Within 2 years, we can negotiate a free trade area massively larger than the EU' David Davis
'I believe that we can get a free trade and customs agreement concluded before March 2019' David Davis
'The Conservative party will ensure that we fulfil our duty so that we can, as one country go forward together' Theresa May
'Trade relations with the EU could be sorted out in 'an afternoon over a cup of coffee' Gerard Batten'It will be easy to negotiate a trade deal' Paul Nutall
'I am confident that Theresa May and her team can deliver an arrangement that suits both the UK and the EU' Iain Duncan Smith

While hindsight may be great, throwing back the cringe worthy and embarrassingly incorrect quotes at the people who talked the country into Brexit is even better.
