From that article:
"However, the Road Haulage Association argued this week that this would not be enough. It cited a suite of measures needed to speed up recruitment of new personnel. These included prioritisation and increased capacity for driver tests to clear the backlog that has developed during the pandemic, adding lorry drivers to the government’s occupation shortage list, which would allow EU and other foreign drivers to fill some rota gaps"

The fucking irony. Getting ourselves in a position where we'll be begging Romanian and Polish people to come here after making them feel unwelcome for the last 5 years.

Must admit I’m struggling to grasp why you bother with this thread now? Most sane people have realised the pointlessness and futility of continuing to engage with it. Surely you’ve got better things to do? ;)

Brexit going well - Part 748.

‘Fishing groups decry failure to strike 2021 deal with Norway as a “disgrace” & “disaster”. UK Fisheries group say Government was “unable even to maintain the rights we have had to fish in Norwegian waters for decades”. Norway will continue to export cod here tariff free’ @BBC

Edit: UK fisheries tweet.

Bob, Bob, Bob.............none of them care............Johnson, Farage, Gove lied about and to fishing and fish processing communities but those that voted them in and who professed to care about fishing in reality didn't - it was just the "prize" of Getting Brexit Done in their eyes - those self same eyes are going to spend the year watching the damage unfold as we come out of lock downs and furloughs end and jobs are lost by the bucketloads - even then they will deny it is happening. The most ardent Leaver who's job was reliant on imports and exports will, when he loses the job, loses the home and ends up on the streets eating out of bins will declare its a temporary blip and is all the thought of Remainers because we didn't get on board with their ideology
