I am curious when the UK will be less strict with worker visas again for European workers after Brexit. It seems the UK has way more economic issues during this phase of the pandemic than mainland EU. On the mainland there are no empty supermarkets, or farms not being able to harvest because of labour shortages. So it seems to be a Brexit issue. But if they allow more European workers again, what was then the point of Brexit? I would hate to be in the shoes of Boris Johnson.

Tangentially related to this, I have heard little mention about how the timing of the pandemic may have been an absolute godsend and a lifesaver for the current British government. The consequences of COVID-19 lockdowns and travel restrictions on the international economy and world trade have made it the perfect scapegoat to blame for the impact of no-deal Brexit.
