U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to promise changes to the direction that the U.K. economy is traveling in.
The U.K. has been dealing with a lack of workers in some key sectors, leading to disruptions to fuel and food deliveries and shortages for British consumers. Due to address his Conservative Party's annual conference later on Wednesday, Johnson is expected to tell delegates that the government is "dealing with the biggest underlying issues of our economy and society" and is ready to tackle "problems that no government has had the guts to tackle before."
Shortages are mainly due to a lack of heavy goods vehicle drivers and overseas workers — with the shortfalls largely exacerbated by the Covid pandemic and Brexit, but also due to other factors such as low pay and working conditions.
Wonder how feeling the effects of Brexit would affect the results of a second referendum.
🤡
Brexit means brexit though, they voted for this.
Of course! The fox loves to guard the hen house!!
And yet he DID say it wasn’t his job!
