Everyday Impact of Brexit

Former Prime Minister John Major delivered an interesting speech the other day in which he warned about the effect Brexit will have on people's everyday lives including:

• the loss of freedom of movement in Europe
• higher food prices
• more expensive holidays
• the withdrawal of EU driving licences
• the cost of health insurance without the free cover of the European Health Card
• the loss of the Pet Passport Scheme and the expensive – and time consuming – effort to get approval for pets to travel
• higher roaming charges for mobile phones
• slower entry and more delays at European airports
• the loss of the automatic right to work, live or study in the EU

For the last six months everyone's minds have been on other things, but as life gets back to some kind of normality in 2021 the everyday impact of Brexit will become ever more apparent. 

The cost of health insurance alone is likely to be a real eye opener for families booking a holiday in the sun in 2021!
