Brexit wasn't great for pharma's. We lost the EMEA hq, its harder to attract EU scientists, the contract labs that need to work on a fast turnaround have lost business due to customs delays. We have no say in making regulations but still have meet them (de-regulation in medicine won't happen, we always have to meet EP/USP/JP standards). Perhaps there are some gains, but as someone who visits pharmas regularly I've never been told one.

Pharma regulation needs to cover major populations. Whilst there has been a lot of harmonisation in the cGMP requirements, it would be impractical to introduce our own. It would send the cost sky rocketing. And if we failed to meet others, it simply wouldn't be allowed to be sold. Regulation (particularly data integrity) is here to stay.

I'm tempted to add more here. I've held GSK as long as I can remember - at least 25 years and I'm up 3%. That excludes dividends. But as I move towards an income portfolio and the clinical news has generally been positive it should hopefully be dull and worthy for the next 25

More positive Phase III news:,

GSK announces positive phase III results from ANCHOR trials for depemokimab in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps



· Primary endpoints met with statistically significant reduction in nasal polyp size and nasal obstruction versus placebo plus standard of care, at 52 weeks

· Depemokimab is an ultra-long-acting biologic administered once every six months

· Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) experience a range of symptoms which are widely underestimated and often sub-optimally treated

That is the thing. We all need to respect that other people can have alternative views. There are obviously benefits and negatives to EU membership and also Brexit. It is a complicated world.

[rikky72] 12/10/2024 22:01

.. much more than we gained from exiting.I respect your opinion though, even if I don't agree with it.

The process of shipping, making and approving medicines has actually been hindered by Brexit. The process of scientific collaboration with Europe has also been restricted. The Johnson government took credit for the Covid vaccines rollout, but in reality this was down to the regulator and the companies.We always had sovereignty, we just also had a minority of decisions that were taken in consultation with the bloc.We also had a lot of regulations (workers, food, environment) that those nefarious backers of Brexit in the background wanted removed in their greed for ever more profits.I grant you that the EU was bloated, slow in decision making and corrupt in places but I've never seen a large governing body that wasn't.Not to mention the 4% PA loss of GDP because of all the trading restrictions.I believe we have lost much,

Vaccine rollout during the pandemic.Sovereignty over our own affairs. It is therefore our own inept politicians who we can blame for policies.Ability to make our own laws to suit our national strategic intentionsAbility to be more dynamic as we act for our own national interest (unlike the archaic EU decision making process (or lack of).The fact we can still buy lettuces from the Spanish is also a miracle as they were not going to let us buy then of them if we votes the wrong way. We can still breath oxygen.I do not understand why remainers see the EU as some sort of promised land. Vast swathes of people in the EU are desperate to leave it. Economically the EU is in terminal decline. It is certainly not some sort of nirvana. Brexit was also not ever going to be an instant fix and of course the world is work in progress. Covid hit all western countries hard and that happened just after Brexit so hey ho.

The EU has also been reduced to US vassalage, so the choice was report to Washington directly or via Brussels.

[rikky72] 11/10/2024 20:23

Still waiting.. and will be, ad infinitumYou can be smug if you want as you got what you wanted. If what you indeed wanted was to accelerate the decline of this country.Anyway, no politician has the stomach to revisit this as, we even see here in microcosm, the debate is still too toxic for now. It's just that there are ever fewer options left for arresting the decline.

[supermarky] 11/10/2024 20:11

Watching the smug, arrogant and conceated little faces of the Pro EU remainers drop when they realised they had lost in the referendum.... and that the uneducated underclass and misinformed neanderthals had been tricked and lied to in order to vote Brexit. Let's remember that it was only the informed and intellectual people who voted to remain in the blessed EU!! Since the 1980s hay day Europes proportion of the world economy has plummeted. Europe is in terminal decline on the world stage.

[theoriginalwonderstuff] 11/10/2024 17:47

In very simple terms...Someone needs to bid for this basket case and take it out...

[spoole5] 11/10/2024 16:28

Back to virtually the pre deal price. The problems run deeper

[alphorn] 11/10/2024 15:49

#447. The answer to your question is No.

[rikky72] 11/10/2024 15:46

Labels are unimportant. What is important is that that decision continues to cause us damage in many spheres, year after year. There are many things that need fixing but that really was a needlessly inflicted wound.

[rikky72] 11/10/2024 14:48

One thing. Name me one realised benefit of Brexit? I'll be waiting..

[supermarky] 11/10/2024 14:45

Nothing to do with the ineptitude of the governments then? Nothing to do with the plague? I bet you are a remainer and you are seeing what you want to see.

[pander45] 11/10/2024 12:49

I'd wait if I were you. I see 1300s

[dope007] 11/10/2024 11:56

I'll be adding one final tranche when my last few dividends come in so hopefully Reeves keeps screwing our markets over for a couple more weeks yet

[spoole5] 11/10/2024 11:27

No more zantac excuses. Let's focus on that pipeline.......

[pander45] 11/10/2024 11:26

Absolutely spot on.

[abdullla] 11/10/2024 11:21

Soon yesterday 's opening gain of 70p will fizzle out into smoke, ìt seems the 2.2 billion dollars was of no use just waste of time

[dope007] 11/10/2024 10:47

Blame Reeves and Labour for the daily yanking of cash from UK stocks. Some massive bargains out there including Glaxo
