Dominic Raab is very keen to at least try and reassure the British public that BLT sandwiches are still going to be available. Some details that were found in the document however were much less comforting. It is noted that pharmaceutical companies are being advised to try and stockpile six weeks of additional medicine. It should also be noted that companies have also been advised that organic food retailers could see their produce being blocked to EU buyers for up to 9 months. Of course, there is no telling when this is going to end but some people have been advised to try and seek advice from the Irish government. They are going to try and help people to understand what preparations are required. Those who are in the UK have even been warned that they may lose their access to UK banking services as well and this could cause major problems in the future.

Those who work in engineering jobs or even in industrial jobs will know this more than anyone. A Brexit with no deal would be very bad for science. The question is of course, how bad. It is nice to see that the Secretary of State is going to reassure people about their sandwiches but it is not clear whether or not the UK is going to be a world-leading power in terms of their science potential. At the end of the day, collaboration requires a lot of different people and if the UK is limited in terms of the people who they can work with then this can only mean bad news. Of course, only time will tell whether advancements like this are going to keep happening in the future but for now, it is safe to say that things are not good.
