A mix of stories lead Wednesday's papers, including a warning over Christmas present shortages.

Wednesday's Times focuses on the chaos at Felixstowe port, where containers are piled up and unable to be moved because of the lorry driver shortage. The paper suggests deliveries for Christmas are among the goods being held up - including toys, electrical goods, bikes and homeware. Ministers are being warned that there could be gaps on shelves, the paper says. Felixstowe normally handles more than a third of Britain's container imports and exports, and much of it is toys and furniture.

The Guardian describes the EU's offer to remove customs checks on goods as an "olive branch", and that the bloc is seeking "to turn the page on the rancorous relationship with Boris Johnson". But a bone of contention between the two sides remains, the paper says, over the UK's demand that the European Court of Justice can no longer be the arbiter of EU law in NI.

The EU should not accept any additional compromise. That would be a sign of weakness. The more compromises it makes, the more Brexiteers will ask for compromises to their advantage. Checks will remain in olive branches- until olives are grown commercially in GB due to climate change.
