Cancel Brexit: Protect the NHS put the nations effort into defeating coronavirus
The Prime Minister should announce that he is "revoking Brexit" in the national interest. The government should negotiate with the EU to conclude the transition period with a re-entry into the EU.
Brexit has been a massive distraction for the government, which should have focused January and February on getting the right equipment to frontline workers. Leaving the EU would be a slap in the face to the many EU staff in the NHS, who have worked so hard to save lives during this crisis.
