Two months ago I wrote to the Government, warning them that businesses had been telling me that the lorry driver shortages were starting to affect them, and that this situation was only going to get worse. For two more months the Government did nothing as our shop shelves emptied and our fuel pumps ran dry.
Tory Ministers pretend other countries have the same problem but no other country has no fuel in the pumps and no other country’s Government deliberately adopted policies to decrease the lorry driving workforce as Johnson did with Brexit, causing 15,000 drivers to leave and contributing to the damage we see now.
