Labelling this as a Brexit problem is simply untrue. This is a European-wide issue & the culprit is coronavirus. The origins of this chronic shortage lie in the long-term implications of locking down so completely. Total European shortfall of HGV drivers is now more than 400,000.

We won't get to the truth through a public tit-for-tat between Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings. Bereaved families deserve to know exactly what decisions were made and how during this pandemic. The Prime Minister must establish the public inquiry without further delay.
