A Q for PMQs.
@Keir_Starmer
THREE QUARTERS of our meds come from Europe. How are you going to secure supplies, including time/temp sensitive meds like insulin/radioisotopes which can't be stockpiled, to prevent deaths from shortages???
@AdamBienkov
I have a choice whether I subscribe to something like Netflix, which I don't. I don't have a choice about having to take these meds every single day of my life. I DIE if they become unaffordable. Many others are in the same situation. Health care doesn't work on subscription.

Message to EU. How about sanctions on Tory cabinet members and MPs only. They have to be ousted. We're just innocent victims in all of this. Even leave voters are now regretting their decision. We deserve better. I'm European.
What's needed is a drama in the style of Ken Loach set in a post-NHS UK where diabetics are rationing insulin, millions of patients dying
#uninsurable
with no access to healthcare, etc. Might wake people up more than any campaigning.

I've been told to go cap in hand around the pharmacies with a prescription looking for Lantus insulin. This is totally unacceptable I WANT ARTICLE 50 REVOKED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES!!!!!! No compromise!
Next week the Government will use an UNPRECEDENTED ABUSE OF POWER to restrict the publics right to protest. There is a VIRTUAL MEDIA BLACKOUT on this. Neither

Les électeurs britanniques sont maintenant contre le Brexit. Nous sommes entraînés hors de l'UE par un gouvernement corrompu. Ils détruisent notre pays. Nous espérons que notre adhésion à l'UE pourra être rétablie une fois que ces criminels auront été traduits en justice.

Is the NHS keeping you alive? I'd be dead without it. Could you afford to stay alive without the NHS???? Ask everyone you meet this question.
We have to keep pushing this.

All Steve's doing is asking questions the MSM should be asking and calling them to account for their dreadful policies, and some of those Tory MPs should also maybe given restraining orders. I won't name them here. It's not all one-sided.

Fight with them! NHS workers deserve fair pay. Without it we will have no staff, and no NHS.

Imagine you're diabetic like me. You're prescribed insulin, 99% imported, and you're told to eat fresh, low-carb food. Imagine you have a T1 diabetic child who is insulin dependent. How do you feel? Brexit is an assault on our basic human rights. Pls sign.

It's not just a case of affordabilty, but also AVAILABILITY. Food shortages are a particular health hazard for those of us already on a restricted diet. THE SHELVES ARE EMPTIER FOR US!
This breaks my heart - 250 patients a WEEK are dying needlessly in A&Es 💔
The ONLY way politicians can fix this is to FUND OUR NHS (the private sector doesn't even have A&Es)
*Increase funding by £40 billion/yr to match equivalent European countries*
The European Movement is on the verge of reaching 20,000 members. Our momentum is growing and we’re building our capacity so we can achieve more. Your support could be the thing that helps us go even further. Join the European Movement today!

Psychological harm is the constant threat of Covid, denying suitable food to those of us with dietary requirements, threatening med supplies and threatening our NHS lifeline. How long does the govt. deserve for that?

We need INSULIN, not chocolate biscuits for God's Sake!!!! Our human rights to life, health and food are under attack. Nobody died because they couldn't get a chocolate biscuit!!!!!! Pls sign and share my petition.
So fantastic! A trade deal with Australia could be worth up to £1bn which is definitely better than free trade with the EU which is only worth - *checks notes* - £290bn.
Our human rights are being violated. Govt. has already breached Article 2 ECHR, the right to life, with its herd immunity debacle. We cannot allow more violations with no-deal med shortages. Pls sign the petition.

and when they contacted the helpline they were all led to believe that they were the only one experiencing issues!!!! Sounds like more than system failure to me! They were told the system was secure when it obviously wasn't.
This is your daily reminder that there are no fuel shortages in the EU. Their supermarkets are FULL. This mess is all down to Brexit. A quarter of the HGV driver vacancies are in THIS country. Spread the word and get this information out of the social media bubble.
#ToriesOut
Med shortages aren't just inconvenience. Delays are a matter of life and death to thousands. It is a violation of our basic human right to life and must be stopped before the deaths start. No use saying 'I told you so' to a grieving relative.
