European lorry drivers appear to be rejecting the UK’s offer of 5,000 temporary visas to help the country out with its fuel crisis. We ask European Transport Workers’ Federation boss Livia Spera why?
She tells us the situation is far more complex than simply resentment over Brexit (although that’s playing a part). There is also a shortage of delivery drivers across the continent, where pay and conditions are better. We also talk about how the UK’s problems are playing out in the media across Europe.
