UK truckers react as cost of Christmas staples continues to spike amid continuing driver shortage

Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “UK truckers react as cost of Christmas staples continues to spike amid continuing driver shortage” – below is their description.

Beer could be in short supply, shelves will be empty and must-have toys will be harder to find than ever, Britain’s biggest retailers predict. It comes after Kwasi Kwarteng, the business secretary, admitted the fuel crisis could affect Christmas as he revealed the government’s reserve tanker fleet would be deployed to solve the current fuel crisis. When asked if the situation would continue in the run up to Christmas he said: ‘I’m not guaranteeing anything; all I’m saying is that I think the situation is stabilising.’ Clive Black, a retail analyst at Shore Capital told The Times Britons will ask ‘what the hell is this’ when they look at their plate on Christmas Day.
