The government is still trying to deal with the country’s supply shortages.

The former head of Tesco, Sir David Lewis, has been appointed as an adviser on the supply chain issues.

The problem’s particularly acute on livestock farms, where a combination of a lack of drivers and workers is forcing farmers to make some tough decisions.
