British economy going through 'adjustment', says Johnson

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Since Brexit, Britain has suffered a major shortage of delivery drivers, with the novel coronavirus pandemic also a major contributory factor, and the Road Haulage Association estimates that there is a shortage of around 100,000 drivers, and of those, around 20,000 have left for what it called "Brexit reasons".
54% : Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said that current turmoil being caused across the country by a breakdown of the fuel supply chain, and empty shelves in shops, caused by a shortage of delivery drivers in the aftermath of Brexit, are signs of a "period of adjustment" as the country changes from "a broken model of the UK economy that relied on low wages and low skill."
49% : In an interview with the BBC, given at the start of the Conservative Party's annual conference, Johnson said that for many years the country had got by without investing properly and relying upon cheap labor, often from countries in central and Eastern Europe, workers who had been working in the United Kingdom because of the freedom of movement that came with membership of the European Union.
