Also you'd *think* the Labour Party would be all over the truck driver shortage issue...

@JimfromOldham is Shadow Transport Minister

HGVs?

Trucks?

Truck driver?

Shortage?

Ah no, not that sort of shortage

Maybe not on Twitter then... Google News?

labour.org.uk/press/lorry-dr…

Nothing on Twitter though

Where the hell is Labour's 5 point plan to solve the truck driver shortage? Repeated and determined efforts to nail the government on this? Demand that - shock! - short term making it easier to hire from outside the UK might be necessary?

The Government has made a complete balls up, and it feels like Labour is asleep on the job - it's neither properly opposing nor putting forward alternatives

Hopeless
