Brexit breaks UK's supply chain

Super markets showed empty racks. Petrol filling stations are running dry. The UK government requests people not to panic buy petrol. Petrol companies say there is no shortage of petrol. The country has a severe shortage of truck drivers to fill the gap in supply chain business in the country. 60% of People strongly believed that Boris Johnson failed to handle the crisis. But the genuine reason is that the United Kingdom is facing reality after Brexit. When the government offered thousands of temporary visas from other European nations, just 27 truck drivers from the EU. Business owners feel that logistics in the UK matter before the Christmas season.



The UK Government is deploying an army to deliver the fuel to the people. The UK has hardly missed 100K Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers. The HGV driver shortage is, in fact, a global problem that has been ignored and allowed to fester for years. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is trying to promote a sense of calm saying it was all part of the plan for post-brexit.The UK’s petrol retailers have called for an independent inquiry into the fuel crisis to ensure it does not happen again, saying the shortages are not easing quickly enough. A lack of lorry drivers and panic-buying over the past fortnight left many pumps dry. The UK desperately needs European truck drivers to fix its fuel crisis but it lacks a positive response.

Brexit is one of the factors that has contributed to the driver drought, as it ended workers’ free movement between the EU and the UK and left many expelled EU workers with a less-than-positive view of the UK. Covid-19 is the second reason for the shortage that impacts on staffing levels and license testing. Young drivers are unwilling to replace the older truck drivers who are leaving the sector. The free movement of manpower among the nations in the EU has great advantages. The UK has missed this facility after it left the EU. Long before the corona crisis and Brexit, this industry was sick already, plagued by exploitation.
