Extension on Brexit trade talks re Corona Virus Pandemic
Brexit talks are taking up a lot of time for the UK and other European countries.
Dealing with Covid-19 should be the government's top priority. This global pandemic is bigger than Brexit. We are woefully unprepared for this crisis, our NHS was at breaking point BEFORE Corona Virus. The people of Wuhan have gone to extraordinary lengths to contain the virus, that just would not happen here.
I'm calling on Boris Johnson and the UK government to put country first. Pause Brexit trade talks and extend transition period. This would give all of Europe time to battle this virus.
Things are going to get worse
(possibly much worse). It's the ripple effect. Already one UK airline has gone out of business with a loss of around 5,000 jobs, household supplies, drug supplies are/will be affected.
