Well The Transport Secretary himself says Brexit is a factor so I agree. it is disingenuous.Just briefly on the Brexit thing.
Brexit is not the sole cause of the driver shortage but to insist it is nothing to do with Brexit is, at best, disingenuous. To simplify it, if you need ten drivers to deliver fuel to ten garages. One driver leaves because he doesn't like the new tax laws, then another leaves because the pay is poor, one more retires and then Vlad the Hungarian driver goes back home after Brexit. The six drivers work the odd extra shift and everything keeps ticking along. Then a driver gets pinged and one catches COVID...
Which problem has caused the driver shortage?
