Ozanne Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Looks like there's been a Cabinet revolt today for Johnson over his plans for an 'Amber watchlist' as the Treasury and Department for Transport has nixed the idea. It doesn't exactly look great if there PM is starting to get Cabinet revolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrelarmy Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 I’m not sure why but any tweets that people post on the forum don’t show up for me. This page in particular is all blank posts or a comment or reply about the blank post so I don’t have any clue what the conversation is about. Does anyone else have the same issue? If other people are also struggling to see tweets on the site then maybe we all need to stop posting tweets. Screenshots seem to be fine, it’s just embedded tweets that don’t show.

Lack of transport is one of the main reasons I hear, which, has with everything, has many different factors attached. Pingdemic of course, the very low wages for lorry drivers which is not attracting new people in and certainly no one young, with the older drivers earning more as supermarket drivers (In some cases) so leaving. Many of the overseas drivers had gone home for the pandemic (even those that applied for residency)so lets see if they return or decide to stay. Now I have no doubt Brexit will be a long term issue and a shit show for some time. Think the government will have to look again at their immigration rules as we see areas suffering and this pandemic has masked the issue for them. They should of course be thinking about what they should do and doubt they have but with a bit more time between brexit and the change they will make people will not notice, or care as they want the shelves full again. Be lovely to see someone say we don't need all this stuff really as we waste so much, get used to having less (you fucking voted for it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue isn’t people being pinged it’s the virus prevalence being high in the country. The issue in the supply chains are only going to get worse, as you say it’s just to a few different factors but Brexit is definitely a huge issue and the warnings were given but sadly not listened to.

Ozanne Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just now, crazyfool1 said: Depends if it starts hitting them financially they need materials to print papers ? Yeah possibly, I'm just being cynical about it. I'm not sure this will cause the government to collapse, they'll probably just invent a new narrative too shift the blame kinda like how Labour was blamed for the financial crash in 2008.
