Not concerned about who manufactures it, only the uninterrupted supply. A threat of shortages because of brexit was spun and became part of the narrative of doom. The main supplier of Insulin into the UK has publicly dispelled any fears of shortage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take that as you not actually knowing the answer to the questions posed then. No one makes it in the UK. They have stockpiled it but there is currently no major supplier of it based in the UK.

The whole point of my post was about uninterrupted supply. I hadn't the slightest notion to see who manufactures it in the uk. But now, thanks to you mojo, now I know.

Because no one actually knows what might happen with imports after the UK eventually leaves the EU. It might be sorted straight away or it might take years, no one actually knows. If you're relying on stockpiling and imports there could be an issue. Someone manufacturing insulin in the UK would be a good business opportunity. Personally, I don't take any medicine regularly but if I did and that supply could be interupted I would be suitably concerned. I trust you've got your lithium stockpiled?

If the U.K. ever has as many trade deals as the EU it too will take a long time to make further deals as the deals all have to tie in and match WTO most favoured regs. Then of course, there won’t be just other countries to think about, but also the competing priorities and demands of various industries and other interests within the U.K. - and if the brexit fiasco has taught us anything it’s that signing off agreements negotiated by the government is not exactly Parliament’s forté. When the U.K. has completed its ‘easiest deal in history’ - the one they now say they need yet another year for - then you can start telling us how easy it is. Until then it’s just your usual fairytale nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
