Regarding Brexit, someone at the Guardian posted this excellent comment about details that are being forgotten and their potential impact. I thought I’d share it.

Just to confirm, the government is spending £6.2bn of public money on preparing to leave the EU, and the Prime Minister has said that she’s prepared to leave without securing a withdrawal agreement, meaning that on the 30th of March next year all the international treaties that the UK has with and through the EU will vanish, with nothing to replace them.

People say “of course we’ll be able to fly to Europe, of course we’ll get medicines”, but on the 30th of March, if no withdrawal agreement is in place to protect them, the legal framework through which we interact with the EU on a number of issues will legally cease to exist. That’s what “no deal” is.

£6.2bn of public money and a PM who is willing to deliberately erase international legal instruments on which the health, security and wellbeing of people in the UK depend.

This is Brexit.
