hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lucy fisher, deputy political editor at the telegraph and ailbhe rea, political correspondent at the new statesman. tomorrow's front pages starting with "fuel rationed as uk's petrol stations hit by shortage of lorry drivers" is the headline in the i. the paper says bp, esso and tesco are warningn of fueld the paper says bp, esso and tesco are warning of fuel shortages at some forecourts because of supply chain issues. the telegraph's headline is "alarm as bp begins petrol rationing" and the paper talks of the spectre of panic buying looming while a �*winter of discontent�* is feared as energy companies go bust. that�*s next to an image of harry and meghan in a �*royal tour�* — in inverted commas — of new york. the guardian has "warning of fuel shortages amid supply chain crisis" alongside a pciture of primary school teacher sabina nessa who is believed to have been murdered as she walked through a park in south east london. the metro also focuses on police arresting arrested a second man in connection with the death of the teacher. the ft�*s main story is how an interest rate rise moves closer as the the bank of england is predicting inflation to pass 4%. the paper also reports on how former chancellor george osborne has secured an advisory role with a group founded by russian oligarch oleg deripaska. so, let�*s begin. that we are running on empty and the worry basically that there is a lack of h gv drivers that we see affecting a of areas but is really hitting

because it�*s not a lack of physical supply of petrol or diesel, that is causing these storage shortages, it�*s a problem with the shortage of hgv drivers which means that logistical deliveries cannot be fulfilled from refineries to petrol stations. we heard downing street to urge people not to panic and certainly not to panic by which could precipitate the price is getting worse. really, the pressure is building on downing street to step in and try to help solve this lorry driver crisis. part of the which is being commanded by lori drivers, such salary being offered are above the median salary which is around £35,000. —— wages. the prime minister talking about letting foreign hgv drivers come to the uk more easily, but even that may not solve the whole problem because we are already seeing which is driven up in other countries like poland that traditionally have been big on supplying lori drivers. it is a very difficult problem that is not easy to solve in the short term. find

chain crisis, there seem to be pe with at least one grade of fuel, downing street are saying that we must not panic by. but the prime minister spokesman says this issues across several industries, what could and should the government do immediately. the people do not fall into undue alarm over this. it is something that people do worry about. i something that people do worry about. ~ ., ,

message from downing street today has been trying as hard as possible so that sibling of reassurance, but really, i think borisjohnson has had this trip in the states this week that there is been a number of winds, is climate change speech landed well. he has seen the border for british double jib travellers through you with three open, but he has jetted jib travellers through you with three open, but he hasjetted back this morning into an array of issues and the hgv issue such as leading to problems with fuel and petrol stations, there is also the growing issue of shortages and supermarkets and warnings that already this becoming an limitation of choice and there could be empty shelves in some categories potentially. it is very difficult to see how the government can solve it. a big part of it is as i�*ve mentioned, these salaries that hgv drivers can command in many ways, i think officials think it really falls to private companies whether it is petrol stations supermarkets and so forth. being willing to pay the salaries that they need in order to have their deliveries done on time. irate they need in order to have their deliveries done on time. we don't know how much _ deliveries done on time. we don't know how much of _ deliveries done on time. we don't know how much of this _ deliveries done on time. we don't know how much of this we - deliveries done on time. we don't know how much of this we can - deliveries done on time. we don't - know how much of this we can portion to brexit but perhaps they thought there had to be some problem like this, this level of disruptions so that private companies could respond. and would start to use british workers to do these jobs in the market would adjust. as a part what we are seeing? i the market would ad'ust. as a part what we are seeing?— what we are seeing? i think that is partly what — what we are seeing? i think that is partly what we _ what we are seeing? i think that is partly what we

the uk, rather than relying on cheap foreign labourers and it does create some problem because while you pay people more than the uk, does drive up prices so consumers are still kind of hidden the pocket and people are earning the higher salaries. i also think that brexit should not be overstated. there is a covid—i9 aspect of this and their other longer—term changes that we are seeing like manufacturing in china, for example. china�*s increasingly moving to model where they can factor rather than speculatively mailing them to british warehouses. there�*s many categories that we might be singing shifts linked to the pandemic and other changes, but altogether it is creating potentially the scenario of a winter of discontent for the uk. in potentially the scenario of a winter of

than others and i�*ll be sunak. we see the inflation rate go up, we are already at 100% of gdp for the first time since the 1960s, this colossal deficit of £300 billion and while they had predicted that the economic sure was brightening and there was headroom of around 20 billion for sunak to potentially play within the budget this year, this command next month, that would all be wiped out and that some 20 billion by a i% and that some 20 billion by a 1% interest rate rise, that is the cost of servicing public—sector debt annually. so, he is really under it if we do see interest rates rise. it doesn�*t leave a lot of manoeuvre room and we have already seen him put into position uncomfortable for any chancellor to raise taxes in the form of national insurance to form and pour more money into the health services social care. but there are so many other demands of the treasury as we enter this conference and spending review process that was so departmental budgets for the next three years. this the education catch up, the courts back log, prison overflows, a black hole in the railways budget, this public—sector pay rates budgets. there are so many demands in the treasury and the
