Nearly 200 military drivers are being deployed to the worst-hit areas, Downing Street confirmed.

The decision comes as Rishi Sunak warns shortages of goods could continue until Christmas.

In an exclusive interview with the Mail, the Chancellor says the supply problems are global and cannot be fixed by Britain alone.

'These shortages are very real,' he adds.

'We're seeing real disruptions in supply chains in different sectors, not just here but around the world.

We are determined to do what we can to try to mitigate as much of this as we can.'

He also acknowledges that soaring inflation will leave millions of families facing a 'challenging' winter.

Over 300 troops have been on standby since the start of the week and last night Defence Secretary Ben Wallace confirmed 200 of them will begin deliveries.


A government source said motorists might see some military drivers on the roads today and no need to panic.

Thats a sane country with good leaders finding all means to make life comfortable for its citizens.
The military is meant to serve the people and not to oppress and intimidate like in some other countries.

After Boris said he was not going to use the military. I bet it last week that Army drivers were going to be used.

Na so, ours are deployed during elections or protests or an bodyguards. Only the patriotic ones gets to be drafted to places with insurgency.

Our military need to start defending the constitution and serving the interest of the nation not those in power.

Military in sane climes:
1. Help during natural disasters
2. Help during looming economic upheaval (e.g. the UK fuel crisis)
3. Help to transport relief materials

Military in insane climes:
1. Abuse the rights of those they are supposed to defend
2. Ride free (by force) in public transports
3. Enjoy all amenities and rights (by force), veterans or not
4. Pour dirty water on citizens

Not saying those in sane climes don't act unjustly atimes but they obey the call to defend, protect and help the citizens. Those other ones have to act insane first before sane.

So the norm becomes the exception, the exception becomes the norm.

She was the last time we experienced fuel scarcity in Nigeria. We should be grateful to President Buhari for taking away the suffering of queuing up for hours to get fuel.

The pictorial definition of a sane clime.

Once you here anything military or police deployment in Nigeria, at least one innocent person going on his/her own must be shot, either accidentally or stray bullet. sad

Same British accused EU citizens of taking British citizens jobs and last year those EU citizens drivers were kept at Kent airport for days making those drivers to missed Christmas in their own countries.

Now those EU citizens will better pass a night in Japan then go back to UK

@Last paragraph.

Whew!
Supply chain disruptions,
soaring inflation in winter
and...

Crude oil is projected to hit
$100/Barrel during the 2021
winter season according to
energy analysts! "Double
whammy" for the global
economy.

Those who are prepared will
overcome the turbulence
because of lessons learned
from past economic cycles.
