Shortages of Medications Are a Result of Brexit

Sometimes it’s hard to think of anything that Brexit hasn’t made worse. It’s not that all that is wrong with our country is resolved by the vote to exit the EU. It’s just that no one else in the world has to cope with this extra layer of red tape, delay, suffering, money, and economic loss.
