Well, there’s a lot to digest in that article.
Initially, RIP the truck driver.
But, firstly, loss of HGV parking at Felixstowe, loss of driver(s) due to being turned away from their lorry by the police. The 4% drop in container capacity within the time it took to read the article. The turning tide of opinion (as previously predicted) as lorry drivers ‘hold Christmas hostage’ and Mackenzie admitting they want to pay their foreign drivers peanuts and not allow foreign firms to do the same. And a few more issues too. Pretty much encompassing every thread on here for the last few months, but definitely all down to Brexit… 
ok so the backlog is going down but we havent got enough drivers otherwise known as we wont the ee’s so we can pay a pitance and make them work maximum hours. How can thier be a shortage of container drivers if there is more going out the port than comeing in.
I do wonder if the gov are trying to push the companys that wont increase wages and improve drivers hours etc out of business because it will be them that will end up using the cabotage. as said many times the companys that are playing ball now dont have an issue recruiting drivers and wont have to use the cabotage to service thier contracts.

There are rules about political donations from foreign sources. The wife (resident in the UK) of a foreign billionaire is free to give monies etc although her husband isn’t.

Have you the figures for how much the owners of Flexistowe have donated to the Tories?
All as bad as each other
Is an odd one, sparce on info, so my thoughts being either his lorry was broken into & he was killed in his cab, or was in a punch up earlier & he may have suffered something like a brain injury from a punch or head hitting ground etc & then has a brain bleed etc & then died in the cab.

Where does Boris like to put his Johnson when on holiday?
Mistress Carrie - isn’t a Foreigner, nor a billionaire - but she’s done more damage to this country already via our PM than most Foreign Enemies could ever manage…
