@JohnnyMercerUK @LukePollard Why are you making fun of this?

Your colleague, Matt Hancock, said he couldn't guarantee that people wouldn't die (early) due to difficulty in procuring *some* life-saving medicine post-#Brexit.

#NHS & #BMA have both warned about this.

#NHS ordered a stockpile of body bags.

@JohnnyMercerUK @LukePollard Indeed, because your Govt has diverted taxpayers' £ (that's OUR money, not yours) from public services to pay for #Brexit (£6.3bn you're spaffing up the wall, to borrow a Johnsonian phrase), #Brexit has caused some premature deaths already.

I've seen tweets like this:

@JohnnyMercerUK @LukePollard There are already shortages of some medicines because of stockpiling or reluctance to supply #Brexit Britain.

@JohnnyMercerUK @LukePollard It is because of situations like this that your Govt has issued a *serious shortage protocol* to pharmacists, which gives them the power to alter a prescription & dispense an alternative medicine.

The problem is, there isn't always a viable substitute.

@JohnnyMercerUK @LukePollard I'd have thought being a military man you'd understand how important it is to assess the #Brexit impacts HONESTLY & warn people about the risks your pet project exposes them to.

I'm disgusted you've decided to mock other MPs for standing up where you're falling short.
