One of my friends is a former HGV driver. Many in the industry have been leaving in droves because haulage firms since Brexit have been acting like nothing has changed and they can still pay their drivers peanuts to work long hours and their employees will just take it. They have failed to adapt to the job market and that is why there is a driver shortage.
Naturally, the Labour party being the party of privilaged xenophilic university educated wokists, is fully behind importing more cheap foreign drivers instead of paying British drivers properly.
Yes; Labour have been running with this, particularly since the Red Tories are indistinguishable and not offering the alternative.
