That the process of Brexit is causing uncertainty is incontrovertible.
What I mean is, to be a Country functioning outside of the EU, is totally feasible, so there is no uncertainty in that.
The uncertainty arises from unhelpful negotiation, bad planning and obstruction.
And yet we have no Yellowhammer documents detailing the risks of remain.Isn't that odd? I wonder why that is.https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/[email protected]/png/64/1f914.png
So there have been previous shortages of flu vaccine, and the second article has nothing to do with vaccine shortages;
“More than two months before the annual flu outbreak is expected, hospitals have begun turning patients away because they have no beds and too few staff.”
The fact we already see shortages of vaccines just suggests that, potentially, throttling that supply more by choice is risky.
Why would we need that? We voted to leave. https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/[email protected]/png/64/1f92d.png

How much do you think this will cost?
We aren't going to need flights every day for six months. But ok, let's go with that.

A private jet from Paris to London is £4,140. Let's assume we don't get a bulk discount, or use the RAF.
Let's be generous and quadruple the cost and round it up to £20k.
That's 183 flights at £20k so £3.66m.
That's going to mean tax rises or a lack of funds elsewhere is it?
I don't know. My comments were about the effect cumulatively across all areas impacted for the entire UK. Individual cost increases add up when aggregated.
So far these are the only drugs we've found with a genuine short shelf life. What else cumulatively in medicines is going to mean a cost that will push up taxes? If £3.6m is the maximum cost for medicines, then I'd suggest this is just another project fear example that's been shot down.
I don't know. I would rather have some analysis done and make a judgement based on that than assume that it's just project fear.
