That should stop when we leave, and there is no reason why medicine imports should be a problem post Brexit. By the way the UK is a net exporter of medicines. we sell more to Europe than they do to us
The UK is a net exporter of medicines, in a general sense. But, specific medicines are produced elsewhere. It isn't scaremongering at all, and that is borne with the fact the the Government have just spent around £90m on using ferries to transport medicines around for 6 months. But, yes, we have to leave because of, well, only one reason now... 3 years ago 17.4 million people voted to leave on the basis of a shit campaign that was bare on facts, and what facts there were were called fear mongering. Like you just did.
