But there is no other route in this case - the HGV driver shortage is linked to Brexit, there's no two ways about that. You can either blame it on Brexit happening at all (which would be a "Remainer" stance), or on the failure of the government to adequately prepare for leaving the EU once the vote had happened (the "Brexiteer" stance) as they had 4+ years to do this, and failed, they're only just trying to address it now.

There's just no way to claim that the UK's current haulage problems are not Brexit-related.
