UK Government to call in the ARMY to drive Food Carrying Trucks to replenish empty supermarket shelves
UK Transport Companies are short of thousands of HGV drivers. Is this the result of Brexit sending 25.000 truck drivers back to there own E/U Countries. Have the Brexiteers shot themselves in the foot ?.

There don't seem to be widespread shortages, just the odd item here and there.

Jd, I think they're widespread geographically though not huge in any given store or area. But if they get worse or go on long enough, panic buying is always a possible response. If Hopkirk spent less time on AB he could be getting my loo rolls to me...

Lots of empty shelf photos in the DM article. Could be made up, of course ...

[Hopkirk]

Unfortunately legally I have to take some time off.

see, it's restrictive laws causing the holdups. Away with the red tape!

14.50,"unfortunately legally I have to take some time off"..... Why!

[Hopkirk]

Yes, for a major supermarket chain.
