Because everything bad that happens since Brexit definitely ALWAYS was caused by Brexit? Even when other European countries face similar challenges?

I hate how Brexit is played down even in this headline. It makes it seem like it was always going to get like this and Brexit just made it a bit worse.
“Drug shortages more than double since we left the EU”
Is how I want to see these headlines spun.

Doesn’t matter. I fully understand that correlation does equal causation.
The pro Brexit media would spin everything as being the fault of the EU. So why can’t people who are pro EU spin everything that’s bad as being because of Brexit?
There’s nothing false about the headline I put forward (its there in the article) it’s just spin. And that’s still better than the out and out lies we were fed by the eurosceptic press in the decades up til our leaving.

Its why they chose to go on through with brexit, right when we were staring down the barrel of a pandemic and economic shutdown, despite the EU saying we can pause until its over. It left those utter tories enough with plausible deniability to be able to declare its everything else’s fault but brexit.
