All the problems of supply lines in a post Brexit UK are issues we should all be talking about every day. Beyond this health crisis it will affect every aspect of our lives - the food we eat, our roads and environment, our desirability as a nation for inward investment. /Thread
It will affect our ability to keep and create new jobs, the flows of vital life saving medicines. Friction will increase the costs of everything we import which is lots. You might end up following Annunziata’s advice and eating nothing but potatoes 😬
Though this may not help during the Hungry Gap. At the moment people are used to a big variety of very cheap food all year round because our imports fill those gaps.
Our families and friends who rely on being able to get medicines to live normal lives or just to live full stop are being put at risk with the major uncertainty of supply problems https://twitter.com/wendynowak/status/1284112909598101505
But we keep letting ourselves get talked off the subject or distracted by those with an agenda to avoid the glare of reality shining on #projectreality.
Please amplify the good information and warnings being put out by people like @vivamjm who understand the issues faced at the ports. We need to keep examining what the government’s failure to make a satisfactory EU deal really means to our everyday lives. https://twitter.com/vivamjm/status/1269569793398620160
But also share your deepest concerns. Think about your lives. How is the uncertainty of no-deal going to affect you? However small. What experiences do you have of bureaucracy outside the EU for example. We need to build a picture of what we are heading towards
Don’t let yourself be derailed from the core issues we need to keep talking about. The far right tactic is to Deflect-Distract-Divide. It’s successful and we need to stop allowing them to lead the conversations. Tell your stories However small, we all need to hear them! /end
