Independent economist Julian Jessop highlighted a chart which showed that the Netherlands and Denmark have been hit much worse with supply issues despite both being EU members. Mr Jessop went on to claim that there was "little difference" between the US and UK because "both economies have bounced back relatively quickly and therefore first to hit the buffers".
The former Chief Economist and current economics fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs went tweeted that Brexit was not to blame.
He was responding to a graph tweeted by financial journalist Andy Bruce which revealed how badly different nations had been affected by supply shortages.
He added: "Here's the supplier delivery times index from every August manufacturing PMI (so far).
"Danish, Dutch and UK manufacturers most affected by delays, which probably makes sense for their own respective reasons."
Mr Jessop, who previously said that Brexit was used as a "scapegoat", responded are manic Remoaners insisted the shortages were down to red tape imposed after the Brexit withdrawal ended in January.
Numerous members of the liberal elite had gleefully "bemoaned" the lack of supplies - pointing the finger firmly at Boris Johnson for daring to honour the democratic will of the people and take the UK out of their cherished bloc.
While it is undeniable that there have been issues, Mr Jessop has repeatedly pointed out that blaming everything solely on Brexit is wrong.

He added: “Europe generally needs military capabilities.
“Take the cyberwar. In Lithuania or Latvia and beyond, Russia is waging a hybrid war. The Irish health system was recently paralysed. The attacks on public infrastructure are getting closer.

4.28pm update: Thousands of UK students hoping to study on in EU left in limbo

Wetherspoons customers will be disappointed to find the pub chain is facing a shortage of some beer brands.

One feisty user said: “I used to give Wetherspoons credit for its democratic pricing and half-decent curries. Not now. Brexiteer owner Tim Martin has been instrumental in creating the labour and supply shortages now affecting him. He deserves everything he gets. #BrexitChaos.”
Another said: “Tim Martin was one of the architects of Brexit its now backfired on him, he is suffering what he said would never happen, namely beer/staff shortages. I have got no sympathy.”

12.04pm update: Brexit turbo-charges entire UK economy but Remainers bemoan brie shortage! COMMENT
No wonder our beloved liberal elite were so terrified of Brexit - five years on and we are now staring down the barrel of a full on crisis.

It gets worse. Chorizo, that granite-hard Spanish sausage nobody actually eats, might also be in short supply. The horror!
Imagine the shame around the dinner party tables of Islington, being forced to serve only British (spit!) produce like Stilton or this delicious Yorkshire Chorizo. Good Lord Diedre, it wasn't this bad in the war!
Quick Jeeves, Fortnum & Mason tout suite and don't spare the horses - there's panic buying to be done!
