Petrol stations are running dry as UK truck drivers continue to strike. 

The drivers are staging a stay-home strike over pay disputes, after many have been forced to take a de-facto pay cut, with pay increases lower than inflation. 

Economic disruption in the wake of Covid, Brexit, and years of underinvestment have amounted to a widespread supply chain crisis in the UK.  

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced striking workers will be replaced with foreign workers, issuing 5000 temporary visas for foreign truck drivers as a short-term measure to curb the crisis.
