A thank you to Brexiteers.

The trouble with making claims like this is that when the the UK supply chain inevitably does not collapse in "two to three weeks", Richard Burnett's going to look like a bit of a tit.

I've made a diary note for the 24th of August, "check if UK supply chain has collapsed".

Was the 24th the day of the milkshakepocalypse?
 
A massive part of the HGV driver shortage are changes in the tax rules for non-UK drivers; they used to register themselves as limited companies and every penny they were paid was only subject to corporation tax, the rest could be sent home and spent. Corporation tax is ~20%. This loophole was shut down this year which has made it far less attractive to work in the UK.

If drivers were caught by IR35 they must have been well paid to make ltd company worthwhile!

They’d be paying dividend tax / income tax on top of the corp tax.

Nope, if the individual is a limited company the money he earns is company profit, 100% of it, in the UK he'd pay dividend and/or income tax on it, but if a foreign national they could send it all home once corporation has has been paid. The loophole was closed as it was clearly unfair to domestic drivers, a shortage of drivers is the inevitable result.

Smokeandsteam what do you reckon, do you think that food production (fruit & veg & meat processing) will continue in the UK at the same scale it has been ?

Do any Brexiteers have a view on this at all?

I'm increasingly convinced it's inevitable that british food production will collapse quite fast now, with imports replacing the production of most things.
i just had a look at this farmers union report.
it says that already lots of farms are planting significantly less stuff, or going for more monoculture to try to contain their losses, knowing they wont be able to get staff.

Not sure I'd trust a company who patronisingly call their staff Sandwich Artists to tell me anything, but some people just seem to lap up that "companies blaming stuff other than their shit business practices for their failings", as this thread continues to demonstrate.
