Following the UK’s departure from the EU, the UK’s veterinary sector was hit hard. Now, shortages threaten food safety risks and delays at borders – so what can we do to change this bleak narrative?

Six years after the referendum we can disentangle the evidence and judge the effects on health and care, says Richard Vize.

Supply chain disruption is now the norm for UK businesses, with consumers at the receiving end of delays and shortages. Can businesses and the UK government smooth out the bumps?

A new nationwide poll suggests that many people believe that Brexit is one of the top factors causing the ongoing supply chain crisis. The findings come as a group of 48 wine and spirit companies warn the Transport Secretary that Britain is set to face a Christmas alcohol shortage.

Now that Brexit has been ‘done’, the British government is refusing to talk about it. But the rapidly escalating crisis in the UK has everything to do with the country’s departure from the EU. The opposition, meanwhile, has gone awol.

As crises mount, the polls show voters turning at last. But the national newspapers that backed Leave – even the two now edited by Remainers – continue to pretend there is nothing wrong.

The UK is uniquely exposed to a global problem.

First time around we blamed it on the pandemic, then on the pingdemic. But there can be no doubt that Brexit is a primary cause of the empty vegetable crates and unstocked shelves in supermarkets this week.

The Yellowhammer report suggests medical supplies could be disrupted by a no-deal but a fragile system means it’s more complicated than that.

How, indeed whether, Britain will leave the European Union on the 29th March will impact animals and their welfare. Political paralysis in the UK means however that there are more questions than answers at the turn of 2019.
