Indeed. But if 80% of the shortage is caused by the pandemic, plus historically poor working conditions and low pay, and 20% or less is attributable to EU drivers no longer working in the UK, why, I wonder, are some people so desperate to obsess over the 20% rather than the 80%?

Actually I don't really wonder. It seems pretty clear that the usual suspects are continuing to latch on to anything that feeds the false "Brexit crisis" narrative they can't seem to escape from.
