Shoppers face permanent food shortages with the days of being able to get almost any item off the supermarket shelf over, a trade body chief has warned

Mr Wright told an event organised by the Institute for Government:"It's going to get worse, and it's not going to get better after getting worse any time soon."

"And I don't think it will work again, I think we will see we are now in for permanent shortages. Now these shortages don't mean that you're going to run out of food."He highlighted the example last week when most of the East of England ran out of bottled water. Mr Wright said:"That's a first world problem. Nobody's going to be completely bereft if they can't get bottled water.

So lorry drivers have disappeared forever 🤔 Never heard something so ridiculous! But what do we expect from tabloid journalism? Throw a match in the firework factory and enjoy the show 🙄 There are transport issues on parts of the continent just as much as here in the UK.

So the UK can't even produce its own goods - whoops, people voted the tories to take away manufacturing & destroying agriculture-thatcher! So this bloody country relies imports-what a BIG FUCKING DAMN SHAME FOR SO-CALLED 'GREAT' BRITAIN!

Now what?

Brexit Brexit Brexit and even more Brexit Brexit Brexit is what your problem is

Scary! We will all have to live on take away food from the multi nations like McDonald’s because you can bet your house on it that they won’t run out of food! But scare tactics yet again to keep us in line like good little puppets! StandUpX2 JuliaHB1 GillianMcKeith

Welcome to Soviet Style 1970s shopping brought to you by Boris & Co.

Can we make tory/brexit voters go to the back of the line when rations are gettin handed out,

Don't recognise that in any main supermarket I've visited in Surrey in the past few months in various locations in various major retailers. Photo probably taken about 5 mins after the store was shut late in the evening for maximum impact before the shelves were re-stocked.

Thousands of illegals scarpered before they got deported you mean

One way to get people to buy there nearly out of date stock or push a more expensive brand

Not seen any shortages here in Manchester’s

Remember those reports from behind the Iron Curtain of shoppers fighting over the last pack of chicken gizzards? Welcome to post-Brexit Britain.

all good here in ireland 🇮🇪 👍

The world stops turning suddenly

Buy local produce 💁‍♂️

More scaremongering from a bullshit source…

msm peddling pro-eu trade organisation bollox, never would have guessed.. yes I would brexit (Doomberg) claimed the UK would only be left with 'lamb chops & potatoes' Stop peddling shit..

Total an utter drivel. This is Britain. Space on the shelves will leave a vacuum for entrepreneurial types on these shores. Project fear as per 🙄

No shortage of anything here. Scaremongering codswallop.

😂😂😂 bollocks

No shortages in Barcelona 🇪🇸 or Paris 🇫🇷 where I'm at the moment. We also have Covid but we don't have Brexit 😉

It’s the Brexit dividend that keeps on giving.

Haaaaaaaa ! Get to fuck

Do we need Christmas items on sale in September or why not in November .. why at Christmas are stores filling shelves with Easter Eggs .. maybe get back to seasonal and make use of less shelving , less floor space if you can’t use that space ..
