I see parts of operation yellowhammer (why that name?) have now been released.

I think the bit about food shortages and medicine shortages is being blown out of proportion. I suspect there would be some short-shelf-life foods that would become unsellable in the lorries while waiting 2.5 days at Dover, but that doesn't really amount to food shortages in my book. I can go a few weeks without strawberries. I think the medicine shortages story falls into the same category.

However, the increase in electricity prices would be more of a concern, since this affects many parts of the economy. As always, the devil is in the detail. No doubt remainers will say it could be a doubling of the price, while brexiteers will say it is likely to go down after a negligible increase.

BTW: Bridge between Scotland and Ireland!!
