In a social setting two weeks ago I met a Doctor who works for a Luxembourg Pharmaceutical distribution company.
The Doctor said Brexit is mentioned everyday and that instead of three months stock being held in the UK they now held 12 to 24 months.
However this is a huge financial cost which someone, probably the consumer will ultimately pay for.
However many products have short shelf life so they are engaged in a constant rotation of stock.

By the autumn this was raised to 5,000 tonnes. Of this, food accounted for around 2,000 tonnes with coal the majority of the rest.
And it should be remembered that the NHS is a product of the freedom and democracy the UK enjoys today, by occasionally standing up for these things, and self determination, above all else.0 -

The NHS is the product of socialism, and don't you forget it.
All the politicians you want to see in power today would have voted against the creation of a National Health Service after the war. Most of them are keen to carve it up and privatise it.0 -
Nissan expressing concern about Johnson Kamikaze tactics.A no-deal Brexit would put Nissan’s entire European business model in jeopardy, the car manufacturer has said in its strongest warning yet over the UK’s departure from the EU.
Gianluca de Ficchy, the chairman of Nissan Europe, said the imposition of a 10% tariff on exports under World Trade Organisation (WTO) terms would threaten the future of its large Sunderland plant.

But Brexit is a pretty big concern to the UK operations, no?0 -
On October 19th it looks like Hilary Benn and the opposition are going to propose a vote in the HoC on a second referendum. This looks like it will be them passing TM’s WA on the provision that there is a second referendum...
Last time a vote on a second referendum lost by 12 votes so we just need 6 MPs to switch.
How will you vote in the second referendum if it’s the WA or Remain?
Ps PEOPLES VOTE MARCH 19th OCTOBER LONDON0 -

Oh for pity's sake...
This is people's livelihoods. Hundreds of thousands of people. Car plants are shutting production and workers being laid off. Because of Brexit. Because car manufacturers don't want to build cars in Brexitland in an already challenging market.0 -
Harry Dunn's killer, American, Ann Sacoolas, will not be returning to the UK to face British justice, or any other kind.

A great example of the start of the shafting Little Brexitland will be receiving when relying on the Americans for it's one and only trade deal.0 -
How many more issues will Remainers be weaponising?0
