3:02 pm
ministers have insisted there is no shortage of fuel and that people should be sensible. but cues have persisted outside petrol stations. industry figures have criticised the government's plan to offer 5000 foreign lorry drivers temporary visas work in the uk, saying it would not be enough to stave off a crisis. labour have called on ministers to issue thousands more visas. here's our business correspondent. panic buying has caused chaos at petrol stations and forced some to close. this didn't start because of a lack of fuel. initially supply issues were caused by lack of tanker drivers. that has highlighted a wider hgv driver shortage, a long—standing problem that has got worse. the government had resisted the idea of temporary visas for overseas workers, however, 5000 will now be made available. i would have liked to have seen it four months ago. we will take what we can, but it is
3:03 pm
not enough. we will take what we can, but it is not enough. it is too little, too late basically. other sectors, too, have struggled to fill the workforce. 5500 visas for poultry workers are being introduced. the damage has already been done for the bigger guys. the damage has already been done for the bigger guys. for the smaller guys, the smaller farms throughout the country, it is useful for them. but how easy is it to get those visas? supermarkets say they need 15,000 lorry drivers to avoid christmas disruption. the labour leader today insisted the visa numbers are far too small, saying action should have been taken earlier. it is a short—term response. in the long—term we need conditions to be improved and training. the government has known that for years. we have a situation where we have an absolute crisis
3:04 pm
in this country through a lack of planning on behalf of the government. the transport secretary, though, said it was for industry to work out permanent solutions. we do not want to be relying on overseas labour, that is why this is limited to christmas. we must sort out the long—term problems with the hgv sector, which has been around for years. other countries are also experiencing lorry driver shortages. it is unclear how many will come to the uk. for businesses, the focus is now on keeping supplies going for the crucial christmas period. let's find out more about the situation at the fuel stations, and joining us is brian maddison, chairman of the petrol retailers association, which represents independent fuel retailers. thank you forjoining us this afternoon. you represent 65% of independent fuel retailers, can you give us an idea of how many forecourts that represents? just

3:08 pm
grant shapps, never seems to mention that the dvla, under direct responsibility, has amassed over 40,000 hgv applications which are as yet unprocessed. now, had the dvla been working efficiently and properly, they have had strikes there, they have had pandemic issues, they have had work—to—rule, i think, but they have not been working properly and so we could have started to have far more applications for hgvjobs coming through this year and the government is letting us believe, so that is a major fault of the government. the government — major fault of the government. the government would say that actually, the hgv driver shortage is a long—standing issue that has arisen out of whole range of issues that applies to elsewhere in europe as well. but coming on to what they are
3:09 pm
now doing about it with these temporary visas, how much of a difference will that make to the situation? this difference will that make to the situation? �* , , ., difference will that make to the situation? ~ , difference will that make to the situation? a . situation? as you said earlier, there are _ situation? as you said earlier, there are shortages _ situation? as you said earlier, there are shortages in - situation? as you said earlier, there are shortages in hgv i situation? as you said earlier, i there are shortages in hgv drivers on the continent, poland, germany, france, italy, sojust how on the continent, poland, germany, france, italy, so just how many overseas drivers we can lure to the uk in the time period, temporary visa for the first three months between now and the end of the year, how many we can lure back to the uk, identity, but i wouldn�*t have thought it would be as many as 5000 we are hoping for. so i think the government also must come up with short—term solutions, one being the introduction of military drivers. after the 2012 fuel scare, notary drivers were trained. —— military drivers were trained. —— military drivers were trained. all we need to do now is make sure that they know
3:10 pm
how to fill the tank and ensure they are discharged into the right fuel tank if possible. so that is very short—term operation and it will produce, probably, hundreds rather than thousands, but it must be done. thank you for your time today. chair of the petrol retailers association. what impact might this temporary visa policy have on the wider retail sector? thank you forjoining us, andrew. first of all, what is your reaction and what impact will these additional visas make to the situation?— additional visas make to the situation? . , . ., situation? certainly at the moment, any additional _ situation? certainly at the moment, any additional drivers _ situation? certainly at the moment, any additional drivers is _ situation? certainly at the moment, any additional drivers is really i any additional drivers is really welcome and it will help, but we must be realistic. the numbers are tambien a small, really, to have a big impact. tambien a small, really, to have a big impact-—

3:12 pm
those uk drivers are available. i do not think we will have those fully available until mid—2022. d0 not think we will have those fully available until mid-2022.- available until mid-2022. do you think this available until mid-2022. do you thinkthis will— available until mid-2022. do you think this will serve _ available until mid-2022. do you think this will serve as _ available until mid-2022. do you think this will serve as any i available until mid-2022. do you think this will serve as any sort l available until mid-2022. do you| think this will serve as any sort of effective bridge until we train up a local workforce at all? from what you are saying, if it will not come into effect until sometime in the middle of next year, where does this leave us in the short—term? it leaves us and customers in particular facing further problems, particularly through christmas—mac and into the new year, but we think supermarkets need 15,000 drivers themselves to make sure we have the same number of drivers we normally have each year. if we think about other retailers who will sell lots of products in the run—up to christmas and into the new year, then we have a lot of disruption. we don�*t know one company that is not chasing down drivers at the moment. it is a brilliant market for the drivers and they are moving from one

3:14 pm
leader, sir keir starmer, says he will talk to his deputy angela rayner after she referred to boris johnson and conservative ministers as a bunch of scum. she has refused to apologise for the remarks she made at a conference to labour conference in brighton. yesterday it was all smiles. sir keir starmer and his deputy working closely together, both with plenty of criticisms of the conservative government. but angela rayner isn�*t someone who holds back. at a reception last night, she launched a fiery attack on borisjohnson, calling him and his c olleagues " scum" today she repeated the insults. is that really the standard of political debate you want for this country? do you stand by your remarks? i think borisjohnson is a racist, misogynist and homophobic guy, and he needs to apologise for his comments he has made in the past. tories accused her of dragging politics into the gutter and said she should apologise. i will apologise when boris apologises for saying the comments he has made. i will retract that he is scum. so, what does her boss make of that?
3:15 pm
look, angela said those words. she takes a different approach to me. we have different approaches to how we get our messages across. it is not language that i would have used. you are a courteous man. do you think she should apologise? that is a matter for angela, andrew. but would he order her to say sorry? i wouldn't have used those words, and i will talk to angela about it later on. there have been tensions between sir keir starmer and his deputy before, and he looked irritated today when he was being questioned about her remarks. he has got other problems on the horizon, too, as he tries to persuade his party to change the way that it chooses its leader. he wants mps to have more control over which candidates can stand as leader. it would have prevented jeremy corbyn doing so, and supporters from his wing of the party are furious. it�*s disgraceful. it�*s not what the british people are interested in talking about. they want to know what�*s happening at petrol stations, electricity, gas charges, what�*s happening to universal credit.
