Can’t say it is particularly bad here. Yes there are some empty fridges/shelf spaces in the supermarkets but unless you are focused on specific brands or product line types, then there are plenty of perfectly acceptable alternatives, esp if you are able to cook. All the staples are well represented.
Nobody is going hungry. Fresh fruit and especially veg is really erratic though.
Not seen any rocket anywhere for a couple of weeks. Have lettuce and spinach so am hardly suffering, but I like rocket.
Today in a big ish Tesco I would estimate the salad/veg/fruit shelves were half empty. Has been similar in all places.
Also my veg/salad is going off really quickly.

No problem with veg here - popped into the Tesco by my dentist this morning and got a good range of veg and there was plenty on the shelves. The rest of the store seemed well stocked too.

I haven't specifically heard of particular people going hungry, but it is generally adding to people's shopping bill, because you're inevitably having to buy items that are more expensive than what you would have bought had it been in stock.
Was in Aldi yesterday, and had to buy a less economical pack of bog roll than my usual, which probably works out one or two pounds dearer. No violins please.
(Point being that people are unlikely to go hungry because there's nothing to eat in the shops. But people do go hungry all the time because they run out of money.)

Fuck all bread in the co-op today with an apologetic sign. The small Tesco had stock but a limited range spread out to fill the shelves.
Went to Aldi on the weekend and again very little of their ‘plant based’ range but in general stock was a bit better than a couple of weeks ago, although different time of day (late evening then vs midday saturday)

We're not getting significant outages here apart from carbonated drinks (I NEED own-brand Red Bull FFS, I really I NEED it!) Random shit, like no potatoes for one day, no greek yoghurts (any brand) the next.
Supply chain crisis: Haulage firms 'horrified' at plans to relax rules on overseas HGV drivers
Currently, overseas drivers can only do two trips between two places in the UK within a week - but the government hopes that by making them unlimited over a fortnight, it will help to solve supply chain issues.

More interested in what the drivers and unions have to say than companies tbh. Its a typical Tory response this ie a crowd pleasing 'high skills/high wages' statement followed by a crowd pleasing 'let's save xmas' statement that undermines the former.Supply chain crisis: Haulage firms 'horrified' at plans to relax rules on overseas HGV drivers
