Bristol included 8,800 nurses and midwives, and Royal College of Nursing figures reveal a shortage of 10,000 doctors.

The number of EU nationals quitting the NHS increased to 8,540 the year after the EU referendum in 2017, and the NHS started fighting this virus with a shortage of 50,000 nurses.

The full negative consequenc­es of leaving the EU grow more and more stark as the days, weeks and months pass. Livelihood­s are at stake here – ask the farmers, the fishermen, the hauliers, meat exporters, and small businesses, anybody trying to export to the EU.

I believe it is essential that a second EU referendum vote is held, so that now people can make an informed decision about whether they want to rejoin Europe, or whether they do not.

A second referendum is neither anti democratic, nor does it make a mockery of democracy.

On the contrary, another vote by an ‘informed’ British public is the democratic and commonsens­e thing to do.

I have put together a petition on social media, care of a site called 38 Degrees, for Parliament to hold a Cross Party Debate and hopefully decree a second European referendum vote. My petition may not be successful, but I always say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Anybody with access to the internet, and who would like to sign my petition, should email me at the following address: michaeltho­mpson533@btinternet. com and I will forward them the petition link.
