Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Rishi Sunak says ‘good amount of Christmas presents will be available’, despite HGV driver shortage” – below is their description.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak blamed global factors for the chaos and admitted the government ‘can’t fix every single problem’. But he said ministers are doing ‘absolutely everything we can’ to solve issues at British ports and in shops ahead of the festive period. It comes as supermarkets and retailers are believed to be planning to bring forward Christmas sales by up to a month to prevent empty shelves in December. Industry bosses said promotions will be triggered early to avoid a late rush after holding talks with the government. Meanwhile families were warned to start shopping now amid fears supplies of toys, electrical goods and other products will be disrupted by logjams at UK ports. Retail leaders said the shortage of HGV drivers to carry loads from docks around the coast is threatening festivities and the wider economy.
