Haulage companies say they’re struggling to recruit enough truck drivers due to Brexit and a suspension in training and testing during the Covid-19 pandemic.

  1. Somebody should remind Britain that THE USA HAS MORE NAT GAS THAN WE KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH. We can EASILY meet their Nat gas needs this Winter.We have some of the deepest pockets of Nat gas IN THE WORLD!! HEY BRITAIN, ARE YOU LISTENING???

  2. Brexit was good. The English people have a right and a responsibility to govern themselves. The British people are not obligated to pay for other poorly governed European countries.

  3. Now uk is putting tax on GAS not petrol GAS! this is to force people to use more expensive electric to heat their homes. Those who can only just afford bills are forced into fuel poverty.

  4. Oh.. Its going to be a very very tough year on shortages. But they only want to let you know, when they arrive.
    Food is next UK. Because the push will be on high ticket movement, rather than basics. This is the greed reality, shaping the world during a Grand Solar Minimum. Nature, both solar and human, are against you. One you can control, you can plan for, the other you can only see coming and prepare. Best of luck world, stop following the narratives.

  5. American’s pay attention. This is what it will soon look like in America if drivers are forced to get vaccinated! 90% at my company have already said they would quit! Just like the nurse shortage caused by Biden’s push..

  6. A global crisis is taking place in terms of energy, the European Union, London, China, around the world, while president of Mexico refused to cut production when “OPEP” ordered it.
    The European Union's energy secretary is suggesting doing ot Cutting crude oil gradually, It was a mistake to have cut production without a study carried out previously

    This crisis is affecting the supply of raw materials, food, etc. The population is scared.

    Now London, China, Russia, Singapore, South Korea are asking Mexico for economic larks and partnership.

    What is happening in Spain was what was expected in Mexico, By selling all electricity consections to private companies, they put the price,
    In this case, the government cannot suggest a cost to these same companies.

    The cost of electricity for Spaniards and Europeans is double what it currently costs us in Mexico, and continues to rise in the next days more and more.

    For those who were against it, once again the intelligence of a man who takes the country to another dimension is demonstrated.

    With a lot of pride
    Viva our president. Andrés Manuel López Obrador 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  7. Brits are discovering they are no longer the British Empire and think their country can go it alone. That's what happens when you allow such a complex question as Brexit to be voted on by the general public who don't completely understand the the ramifications of leaving the EU in the first place.

  8. Here in Canada, truck drivers earn $18 to $20 per hour, and they have to invest $12,000 into training over a 4 month period to get their AZ licence. meanwhile, Amazon is paying the warehouse workers $24/hr to load/unload those trucks, and the training is free. A lot of AZ drivers have stopped driving to work in the warehouses instead.

  9. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
    Greetings from Germany! 😉

  10. There are no empty gas stations anywhere else in Europe, no empty shelves in supermarkets, no crops rotting in the fields. Funny that if it was all to blame on Covid, isn't it? The only difference between the other European countries and the UK is Brexit – and of course a very corrupt government that is more bothered with filling up its own pockets and those of its buddies than concerned about life of ordinary Brits. How could they possibly waste 37 billion on a track and trace app that doesn't even work when Germany had one working already and it had only cost 25 million?

  11. Oh Britain… 😅🤦🏻
