According to the newspaper, a special list of occupations facing shortages is being considered. If drivers are added to that list, British employers will have more opportunities to hire foreign workers. It is estimated that there are currently about 100,000 short drivers.

Many British shops, cafes and restaurants have been experiencing supply problems for some time. As a result, McDonald’s does not have milkshakes in all of its British branches. So it was temporarily removed from the list. Competitor KFC also warned that due to supply chain issues, sometimes not all products on the list are available.
